Hi Kris,

I think it's a bit harsh to call both of them "unmaintained". I maintain Documentation/ioctl-numbers.txt, and right now, I have only one pending request. (As opposed to menuconfig, where I have a big stack of unanswered mail, mea culpa).
I welcome updates to Documentation/ioctl-numbers.txt. If you are going through the kernel source and recording what's actually there, please send it to either me or the Linux Kernel Patch mechanism. If you are collecting anyone else's new allocations, please send them to me directly.
Documentation/magic-numbers.txt is managed differently. As far as I know, no one is the maintainer of that file, and you (or anyone) is welcome to go through the source and find more magic numbers and add them. When I did it, I made an exhaustive search through the source at the time, so I'm fairly confident I got almost all the magic numbers as of 2.1.55.
I wonder, though, how valuable lists like these are. Do people find them helpful?
