Depends on the exact maintainer picking up your series.

... Now good luck figuring out who that's going to be :)

(I ran "scripts/get_maintainer.pl" on a squashed diff for this series.
It named only Paolo, but for the wrong reason: "vl.c" matched "Main
loop" from the MAINTAINERS file. fw_cfg has no dedicated owner, apparently.)
