As far as i know the change is supposed to go through the
subsystem's git tree by default, but drivers/hsi is currently
orphaned.

You were suggested by scripts/get_maintainer.pl, because you
did some commits in drivers/hsi. You also maintain drivers/core
and drivers/misc, so I thought you would be a good entry point.

Should I send this directly to Linus instead ("THE REST" is the
only matching rule in the MAINTAINERS file)?
