We normally want to have all patches merged through the platform
maintainers, and have no ambiguity regarding who picks things up.
More importantly, being listed in the MAINTAINERS file would result
in us getting thousands of patches each merge window mixed in with
the stuff that we actually do need to see, so that would likely be more
lossy and more work for us.
