It is not possible to infer responsibilities from how contributors craft
their submissions.  The only reliable way to do that is to check the
MAINTAINERS file.

According to the MAINTAINERS excerpt below [0] if a commit only touches
files contained in; drivers/bluetooth/, include/net/bluetooth/ and/or
net/bluetooth/ AND there are no build-time dependencies or dependents,
they are yours to process how you see fit.  However, if commits ALSO touch
files outside of those directories OR do have dependencies or
dependents, you will need to consult with the other affected maintainers
to agree on a strategy for merging them.  If the aforementioned
directories are not touched (as in this case), you can safely ignore
them - regardless of which mailing list(s) or individual's inboxes they
end up in.

Does that help at all?
