I know that making get_maintainers to look elsewhere can make it more complex and slower, but IMHO, by having a per-subsystem profile, this is unavoidable. The thing is that touching at a single MAINTAINERS file every time a new reviewer comes is painful. Also, MAINTAINERS file format doesn't allow adding free text explaining the criteria for someone to become a reviewer. IMO, having reviewers on a per-subsystem file, where one could explain the criteria for being added there will make easier to attract more reviewers.
