To close the loop: I implemented and deployed 2 improvements:

1. Notion of per-repo "build maintainers":
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/88cb3e92ba25303ab67aaceb083fe7304fccd32f
Now linux-next@ and Stephen should be CCed on all linux-next breakages
automatically.

2. Finding maintainers for build errors:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/65a44e22ba217ef7272b9d3735e9d12cfaa204f6
syzbot will attempt to extract the broken file name from make output
and then run get_matainers.pl on it to find relevant emails.
