After this patchset, page_frag is a small subsystem/library
on its own, so add an entry in MAINTAINERS to indicate the
new subsystem/library's maintainer, maillist, status and file
lists of page_frag.

Alexander is the original author of page_frag, add him in the
MAINTAINERS too.

Why is this line still here? You asked for a second opinion
and you got one from Paolo.

Because of the reason below?

What is the reason in that link? You try to argue that the convention
doesn't exist or that your case is different? The maintainer tells you
their opinion in context of the posting.

It seems like you're more motivated by getting into MAINTAINERS than
by the work itself :/

I just argue that it seems natural and reasonable that someone being willing
and able to turn page_frag into a subsystem or library might become the
co-maintainer if she/he is also willing to co-maintain it.

For the 'MAINTAINERS ' part, I guess we all want some acknowledge in some
way for the work if that is the 'motivated ' you are referring to.

For the 'work itself' part, my previous work of supporting frag API, unifying
frag & non-frag API for page_pool, removing page frag implementation in vhost_net
and recent trying of fixing IOMMU crash problem all seem to be motivated more by
getting into MAINTAINERS in your eyes?

With all due respect, it would be good to have less of speculation like
above and focus on more technical discussion.
