The general trend for such code to not have an explicit maintainer.
Instead changes get approved using peer-review that involves at least
one core maintainer. Anything architectural being pulled out and
discssed separatly.
I should also red flag that changing the target vector means changing
the thread code so "it could be fun times".
enjoy,
Andrew
