If it is Qualcomm related, it generally goes through me. And I send it up
through the arm soc guys (kevin, olof, and arnd).

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.
