It is difficult to know where to send a patch for every subsystem. I've
been using the get_maintainer.pl script, so perhaps the info in

$: scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f security/selinux/ss/services.c

James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com> (supporter:SELINUX SECURITY...)
Eric Paris <eparis@parisplace.org> (supporter:SELINUX SECURITY...)
linux-security-module@vger.kernel.org (open list:SECURITY SUBSYSTEM)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
