As described in Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst, the device number registry (or linux device list) is at Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt and no longer maintained at lanana.org.
The devices.txt file is basically community-maintained, and there is no other dedicated maintainer or contact for that file nowadays.
Remove the historic section DEVICE NUMBER REGISTRY in MAINTAINERS.
Signed-off-by: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> --- Note: According to the get_maintainer script, Jonathan Corbet would be the maintainer of those files, but probably everyone knows that the formal role is really among various kernel developers, and not with Jon as a benevolent dictator.
Jon, if that is fine for you, we just keep that with MAINTAINERS as-is. Otherwise, I can send a specific change to exclude those two files, Documentation/admin-guide/devices.{rst|txt} from the DOCUMENTATION section in MAINTAINERS, but I do not see that critical, as only very little changes happen to those files nowadays.
