Re: [PATCH v1 1/1] Maintainers.txt: Fine-grained review ownership for MdeModulePkg

["Leif Lindholm" <leif.lindholm@linaro.org>]

Top-posting because lazy.

Basically, I agree with all of Laszlo's comments.
I would be happy for this to remain a single patch, however. Partly
because I'm lazy. But also because this is effectively "converting"
a single package (MdeModulePkg) into multiple sections. (This is not a
strong preference.)

I would however prefer a v2 with sorted F:-patterns.

And of course, Acks/Reviews from everyone affected.

Best Regards,

Leif
