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.

I'm in the MAINTAINERS now in Linus' tree. I have requested a kernel.org
account now and will hopefully have my trees set up later this week.

I'll let you know about the URLs as soon as possible.

Adrian
