This actually sounds like a good idea. Someone just told me that they found
a bug in a driver and I asked them if they notified upstream about it. They
said no, because they didn't know how.

I just told them to randomly modify the file, do a git diff and redirect it
into another file (making a random patch), and run get_maintainers.pl on
it. That's a big hack and having a better interface to point others too
would be useful.
