Hello all,

Driven by the issue raised and discussions with thread:
https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/31907735#42076

This RFC proposal is raised to work out a fine-grained review ownership
for MdeModulePkg.

The goal is to update the 'MdeModulePkg' section in file Maintainers.txt
to resemble the format like the 'OvmfPkg' section. Several reviewers will
be listed to take the ownership to review patches for a specific feature
in the package.

In order to get the list of reviewers, a 2-step process will be adopted:
1. Work out a list that contains major features in MdeModulePkg.
2. Call for owners for every item in the list.

For 1, a coarse feature list is:
Acpi
Bds
Capsule
Compress
Console
Core (PeiCore, DxeCore, PiSmmCore, etc. Mainly content in MdeModulePkg/Core/ folder)
Device (peripheral & storage)
Disk
EBC
HII
MemoryManagement (include memory test, memory allocation, memory profile, etc.)
PCD
PCI bus
Reset
S3 (including LockBox)
SMBIOS
SMM
Status Code
UI
Variable
Misc (all the components that do not fit in the above items)

Once we think the granularity of the above list is fine and there is no
significant feature missing, I will update such list to include the
modules that belong to a specific feature. So adjustments can be done to
work out the final feature list.

The proposal here is far from mature, so any feedback/suggestion will be
appreciated.


Best Regards,
Hao Wu
