Please tell me why you emphasize the moment when a patch that does not
fix a critical bug is picked?

Do you have systems that break because the MAINTAINERS file is not
updated?

It will end up in v5.7 PR for sure but saying things like that is same
as saying that there would be some catastrophically urgent need to still
squeeze the patch into v5.6. Unless you actually have something critical
in your hand, please stop doing that.
