Since this is my very first time stepping up as a kernel maintainer, I was hoping
to get some pointers on what to do to make this happen.

So far, we have set up a new kernel tree and I have set up a local development and
test environment for SH kernels using my SH7785LCR board as the target platform.

Do I just need to send a patch asking to change the corresponding entry in the
MAINTAINERS file?

This has not been sorted out yet.
