Will told me that defconfig patches should go to arm@...nel.org, but you're
telling me they should go to Andy instead.

Andy's being the platform maintainer is news to me.  I'm not saying he
isn't, but I can't remember the last time I involved him in any patches of ours.

Either way, I think there should be a designated maintainer for
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig, and I think that person/alias should be in
MAINTAINERS.

Ok, thank you.
