I think the intent was to also include the RTL global cprop, pre & 
hoisting bits, but it's been a long time since we put that entry together.

I think the question we need to answer is more a "where/how" to document 
what a given entry means.  I guess we can add clarifying text as its own 
section in the MAINTAINERS file.  Or a separate file.  Doesn't matter 
much to me as  long as it's easy to find.
