[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: add myself as maintainer of AFFS

[David Sterba]

The AFFS filesystem is still in use by m68k community (Link #2), but as
there was no code activity and no maintainer, the filesystem appeared on
the list of candidates for staging/removal (Link #1).

I volunteer to act as a maintainer of AFFS to collect any fixes that
might show up and to guard fs/affs/ against another spring cleaning.

Hmm. Please be more careful.

The above says it adds two lines (8 -> 10), but the actual patch itself
only adds one, and modifies another:

I'm used to editing patches for things like this, because I have years and
years of just hand-editing patches I didn't like for some reason, but it
looks like you tried to edit a patch without knowing all the rules for how
unified patches work.

So please don't edit patches by hand.  It's a skill nobody should have.

Anyway, I fixed the patch and applied it, but let's not make a habit of it.

Sorry, it was a last minute change. There was a T: line with a git tree
reference, but this looked odd and I deleted it, but did not realize the
patch would not apply. Too excited to send it.
