Since this is my very first time stepping up as a kernel maintainer, I was hoping
to get some pointers on what to do to make this happen.

So far, we have set up a new kernel tree and I have set up a local development and
test environment for SH kernels using my SH7785LCR board as the target platform.

Do I just need to send a patch asking to change the corresponding entry in the
MAINTAINERS file?

I'm not sure a there is a document, but:

 - add the MAINTAINERS change to your tree
 - ask Stephen to get your tree included in linux-next

then eventually send a pull request to Linus with all of that.  Make
sure it's been in linux-next for a while.

OK, thanks for the pointers! Will try to get this done by next week.

We're still discussing among SuperH developer community whether there will be a second
maintainer, so please bear with us a few more days. I will collect patches in the
meantime.

Thanks a lot!

If you need any help with process, setup, ... don't hesitate to ask
(on e.g. #renesas-soc on Libera).

Thanks a lot! I've got some real-life tasks to do today, but I will join later today.

And I will ask questions ;-).

Adrian
