Since you do many such patches it might make sense to script up a
"who maintains what" kind of script - and share that script with
lkml.

I have this silly little script:

git log $@ | grep Signed-off-by: |
cut -d: -f2 | cut -d\< -f1 |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n

To find out any recent parties that touches a particular file. But
it would be nice to somehow automate the pickup of mailing-list
addresses from MAINTAINERS for example. We've literally got hundreds
of email lists there.

It is not trivial to do though :-)
