I've took Jan 4th https://github.com/torvalds/linux
I've also looked at https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/ and
others, where didn't noticed latest 'Linux 6.2-rc2' updates.

`get_maintainer.pl` had proposed me (among common) this MLs:

"open list:ALLWINNER A10 CSI DRIVER" 
"open list:ARM/Allwinner sunXi SoC support" 

where latter I thought is this one but it's not.

But it seems that real cooking happens there:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sunxi/
So patch is missed here but was sent to needed addresses:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sunxi/20230107083749.2419-1-ole...@gmail.com/T/#u

In your case, if you try to patch "drivers/media/platform/sunxi/sun4i-csi".
It means your patches will go to the linux-media tree.
So you should rebase your patches on top of linux-media's next branch
usually called "for-next" or "linux-next" or "xxx-next" but in this case
it's "master".
You can also work on top linux-next which regularly merge all the next
branches of all the different trees.

There is no hard rules (or I don't know it) usually I send the patches to:
Maintainers and cc: ML

E.g taken from:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/453552/how-to-convert-scripts-get-maintainer-pl-output-as-input-to-mutt-or-git-send-ema

scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-my-patch.patch
and that gives output of format:

Josh Poimboeuf  (maintainer:LIVE PATCHING)
Jessica Yu  (maintainer:LIVE PATCHING)
linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org (open list:BPF (Safe dynamic programs and
tools))
live-patch...@vger.kernel.org (open list:LIVE PATCHING)

Means I will do the following
$> git send-email --annotate --to="Josh Poimboeuf ,Jessica
Yu " --cc="linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org,
live-patch...@vger.kernel.org" HEAD^
