Got to say I really think overloading W which means web page/status
information isn't a very good idea:

jejb@mulgrave:~/git/linux-2.6> grep -w 'W:' MAINTAINERS |wc -l
371

We already have ~400 of them ... how's anyone looking for a todo list
going to find the right one in amongst all the others (assuming a newbie
with no subject predisposition simply trying to find any todo list).

James
