arm-soc maintainer entry

[Stephen Boyd]

Is the arm at kernel.org alias going to be added into the MAINTAINERS file?
Should anybody be sending mails to this address?

It seems I asked this over a year ago and the response was positive but
nothing ever happened[1]. Maybe something like below? I only ask because
get_maintainer.pl isn't picking up this email.

I've been holding off re-proposing this, mostly because life is easier
for us if we don't get arm at kernel.org cc:d on every single patch by
people who run get_maintainers.pl -- it's the equivalent of getting
linux-arm-kernel cc:d to your inbox. It's better signal-to-noise ratio
if it's mostly platform maintainers that email us on that address with
pull requests or patches they want applied.

But yeah, it also means that the maintainer structure is undocumented.
I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks for clarifying. Maybe we can put in the git tree and no email
address? That at least documents some structure.
