get_maintainer.pl didn't add Andrew back then on my patch and still doesn't
even now. Maybe the MAINTAINERS file needs an update if Andrew is to be
included on trivial/documentation patches?

I mentioned Andrew because he does the hard job of being a backup for
everything and everyone, but normally you should try to put the actual
maintainer first in the `To` field and/or trivial@xxxxxxxxxx.

I think that we decided to stop using trivial@xxxxxxxxxx for new patches
a few months ago...

Dunno who the "we" is but then maybe this is appropriate:
