How would I know to CC: him, or anyone else, without a MAINTAINERS entry?
I've already posted these patches 5 times, and every time I do, someone
tells me that I'm CCing the wrong person.

Are you saying that I should send the 9 patches to 9 different people, and
just pray that they all get merged in properly? Each of the maintainers is
going to ask for an ACK from an ARM maintainer anyway, whoever he is (I
don't know any more).

There's got to be a better way.

Fair enough, but the patches aren't new. They've been been floating on the
list for three weeks now.
