After some discussions on linux-arm-kernel during the last merge
window, a suggestion from Alan Cox[1], and a willingness to try it
from Russell[2], some ARM subarch maintainers would like to push our
platform-specific code directly to you for the next merge window.
    

How do you define "subarch maintainer"?  If I have a new platform port, 
but am heretofore unknown to linux-arm-kernel, do I still send a pull 
request to Linus directly?  Or are the subarch maintainers the guys like 
Russell, Nico, Tony, etc. and _they_ are the ones that get to send pull 
requests directly to the Benevolent Dictator for Life?
