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

And by "Stephen", Christoph means me.  When you are ready, please send
me a request to include your tree/branch in linux-next (usually the
branch is called something like "for-next" or just "next") telling me
the git URL, and the contacts I should send email to if there are
conflicts/build issues with the branch.  I will then fetch the branch
every time I create a new linux-next release (most work days), so all
you need to do is update that branch each time you are ready to publish
more commits.

Thanks a lot! I will start with that tomorrow with Geert giving me some guidance.

Adrian
