If it is Qualcomm related, it generally goes through me. And I send it up through the arm soc guys (kevin, olof, and arnd). > > 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. I disagree here. We've generally had defconfigs go up through the disparate ARM board maintainers and they get collated by arm-soc. It's easy when it's something like qcom_defconfig, but get_maintainer doesn't give you the correct name if you are going for multiv7 or some of the default configs. Andy
