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
