No problem. I am building a list of addresses from the MAINTAINERS list.
For those boards which have no maintainer I will use the e-mail address
of the last committer to the config header file (skipping Wolfgang's, of
course).

I will then send a single mail to myself with everybody in Bcc:, telling
them that they are e-mailed as the maintainer or last committer to an
u-boot board, informing them of the recent introduction of ELF
relocation to u-boot, that it breaks building the board, and that they
should take steps to fix the board (these steps may be as simple as
adding a couple of lines similar to what was done with edminiv2.h)
otherwise the board will be considered orphan and risk being removed.

Amicalement,
