I've been holding off re-proposing this, mostly because life is easier
for us if we don't get arm@xxxxxxxxxx cc:d on every single patch by
people who run get_maintainers.pl -- it's the equivalent of getting
linux-arm-kernel cc:d to your inbox. It's better signal-to-noise ratio
if it's mostly platform maintainers that email us on that address with
pull requests or patches they want applied.

But yeah, it also means that the maintainer structure is undocumented.
I'm open for suggestions.
