As it happens I do that in my .git/config, but...

Well one problem is no MAINTAINER == no obvious tree to take you
patches. This is my main bugbear. I have a few patch series that touch a
smattering of files (e.g. logging improvements) that don't fall under
one particular sub-system but are probably a little too broad for the
trivial tree.

I suspect there is a bunch of general infrastructure bits that has this
sort of property. Maybe some effort be made to move related bits into
sub-directories (with MAINTAINERS) where they are less likely to fall
in-between the cracks?
