That is not how things works out. Doing trivial changes to 10+ Makefiles does not require to bother 10+ arch maintaners. Same goes for trivial fixes for any subsystem.
Linus pointed out what to do: Keep a copy of the kernel used for last sync. Take a copy of latest kernel. Do a diff of all relevant files, and apply that before submitting.
When it was brought up last time, someone came with a small script to do so. No bk magic or other stuff needed, and I see that used by many arch maintainers - otherwise they would loose to many trivial changes.
