Yeah, it's not that obvious. Maybe I should write subsystem/maintainer
guide for NFC...

All NFC patches are taken by netdev folks (David and Jakub) via
patchwork. You did not CC them here, but you CC-ed the netdev, so let's
hope it is enough. You also skipped linux-nfc, so you might need a file:

  $ cat .get_maintainer.conf
  --s
