Unfortunately, this is not really the process for doing so, and being in
Cc of the patches isn't what a maintainer is about either.

To become a maintainer (if there's already a maintainer team in place)
you usually get asked by the current team to join them. This is what we
did a couple of weeks ago with Jernej for example:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20201009074423.10708-1-maxime@cerno.tech/

You would be asked to join the team based on a number of criteria, but
usually that would be because:

- You've been here long enough that the team knows that it can rely on
you to stick around for some time;

- Over that period of time, you've helped maintaining the platform
already, which means that you've helped solving the current bugs and
/ or issues, done some new development, reviewed a significant
number of patches, etc.;

- You're getting quite familiar with the kernel development process;

I guess eventually, we definitely want you involved, but we're not quite
there yet.
