Andrew Morton has been saying recently that we need an 'embedded maintainer', to take responsibility for 'embedded issues' in the core kernel, as well as trying to improve our relationship with those using the Linux kernel for 'embedded' devices -- who have a reputation of not working with us very closely; to their detriment as well as our own.
Various people, including myself, have been doing that kind of thing on and off over the years anyway, but Andrew is probably right that it's worth having someone listed in the MAINTAINERS file who actually considers it their responsibility, and as a point of contact for people seeking advice, review, etc.
I've volunteered to take a more active rôle in this, and Wind River has agreed to assign Paul Gortmaker to it, too. The following patch adds both of us to the MAINTAINERS file.
We have also set up a mailing list, linux-embedded@vger.kernel.org, where development related to embedded stuff can happen in a slightly less noisy environment than the main linux-kernel list. We'd like to encourage anyone working on Linux in embedded devices to join the list.
