        M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@hidden>
        R: Designated reviewer: FullName <address@hidden>

M: is mail of maintainer
R: is mail of reviewer

        S: Status, one of the following:

           Maintained:  Someone actually looks after it.
           Odd Fixes:   It has a maintainer but they don't have time
                        to do much other than throw the odd patch in.
->         Orphan:      No current maintainer

"Orphan" sounds the best fit... Do you want to raise it to "Odd Fixes"? 
This implies having a maintainer... I don't feel confident enough to Ack 
cocci scripts but an incorrect cocci script will not break QEMU so maybe 
I cat take M: for Odd Fixes, and lowering it back to Orphan without 
maintainer is 1 commit easy :)

Paolo you mean don't add the "S: Status" to the MAINTAINERS file, or the 
"F: *cocci*" entries?
