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 :-)
