VC4 has two relevant mailing list: kernel-list@raspberrypi.com and
dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org. Therefore, list those two mailing
lists in the VC4 section.

Actually, Raspberry Pi Kernel Maintenance <kernel-list@raspberrypi.com>
was already listed in the VC4 section, but it was listed as a reviewer.
List it as a mailing list.

dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org is automatically picked up by
get_maintainer.pl due to vc4 living under /drivers/gpu/drm. Likewise
the DT bindings are covered. AIUI that means we don't need to list it
explicitly.

I had this debate with Maxime in v1 when I added this [1].
It's not an open list as most L: entries are. The top of MAINTAINERS
lists as "L: *Mailing list* that is relevant to this area". That
mailing list is dri-devel.
You also get "Broadcom internal kernel review list
<bcm-kernel-feedback-list@broadcom.com>" listed as R: in various
MAINTAINERS entries.

I don't know the definitive answer here, but it seemed to fit reasonably as R:.

Yeah, I told you last time, it's going to be a recurring discussion
because it's super unusual :)

I agree with the point that Maxime brought in [1]. Usually, "maintainers
(and reviewers) should be explicit."

For me, it is hard to understand why a list would be listed as a 
maintainer or reviewer, as from my PoV, all lists are used to gather
review.

>> It's not an open list as most L: entries are. The top of MAINTAINERS

By grepping lists in the MAINTAINERS file, we can see that not only
open-lists are listed there. There are also moderated lists.

I don't have an issue in keeping it the way it is. But I agree that it's
unusual.
