+	List of Wine subsection maintainers
+
+When submitting patches to Wine, the guidelines at
+<http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches> should be followed. This file
+contains a list of maintainers for subsections of Wine. When submitting
+patches, you may want to CC relevant people from this list. If you have
+questions about your work in an area of Wine, you may find a list of
+knowledgeable people here.
+
+Many areas of Wine don't have a specific maintainer, although there may
+be people with knowledge of those areas. If an area is not listed here
+at all, you can use the git log to find developers working in that area
+recently. Or, you can send a mail to wine-devel, but be aware that there
+may simply be no one knowledgeable about that subject on the list.
+
+This file uses a similar format to the Linux kernel MAINTAINERS file.
+Descriptions of section entries used here:
+
+	M: Primary maintainer. CC patches to: FullName <address@domain>
+	P: Other knowledgeable person. FullName <address@domain>
+	F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns.
+	   One pattern per line.  Multiple F: lines acceptable.
