Yes, that's the standard way.

But this is a non-standard situation: the change cannot be
implemented without knowledge about and not verified without access

We can only try to Cc: those who are listed in the MAINTAINERS file.
There are some orphaned boards for which it is not clear if anybody
still cares about these, or who.
