That would be ideal.  Do it in steps to include only the files in each patch.

I never specifically push people to commit to maintain drivers unless
they are particularly complex (and hence I'd feel out of my depth reviewing
changes), but the ideal is indeed for people to agree to look after their
code and in particular test changes proposed by others.

Mostly people shouldn't be relying on MAINTAINERS for who to +CC anyway
as it will often miss the people most interested in a given driver so
this is more of a statement of intent than something I consider a practical
part of the upstream process!
