As a general rule, you don't need to ask before submitting a patch
unless you're really doing intrusive and potentially disruptive work
and want some feedback without risking getting bad code mainlined, in
which case... you'd still submit a patch, only tagged RFC. :)

IOW: just submit the patch; after all, the worst possible outcome is
only a NAK if you missed something important.

Here, just submit a patch with a summary line / subject like "fix
CONFIG_SYS_REDUNDAND_ENVIRONMENT typo".
