The "MAINTAINERS" list claims that there are "several" maintainers
for the kernel-janitors submitted patches and the readme on
kerneljanitors.org (http://www.kerneljanitors.org/README) lists a
few folks. Copying the originating maintainer/list is recommended
in one of the kerneljanitor faqs. Some groups seem more receptive
to these kind of fixes than others, though they may just be more
active maintainers.

I don't know if anyone does or doesn't roll these up collectively,
maybe the list can advise...
