...Mobile Test Platform...

Clearly not phone related.

Where did you get that "people should completely rely on tools" thing from?

"You should always copy the appropriate subsystem maintainer(s) on any patch
to code that they maintain; look through the MAINTAINERS file and the
source code revision history to see who those maintainers are. The
script scripts/get_maintainer.pl can be very useful at this step (pass paths to
your patches as arguments to scripts/get_maintainer.pl). If you cannot find a
maintainer for the subsystem you are working on, Andrew Morton
(akpm@linux-foundation.org) serves as a maintainer of last resort.

You should also normally choose at least one mailing list to receive a copy
of your patch set. linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org should be used by default
for all patches, but the volume on that list has caused a number of
developers to tune it out. Look in the MAINTAINERS file for a
subsystem-specific list; your patch will probably get more attention there.
Please do not spam unrelated lists, though.

Many kernel-related lists are hosted on vger.kernel.org; you can find a
list of them at http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html. There are
kernel-related lists hosted elsewhere as well, though."
