Yeah, I was planning to improve the commit message,
something along the lines of an extra para:

"The Xilinx boards are maintained, but patches to
them go via the target-arm tree, so add myself as a
maintainer there too."

Really this is because we're overloading "maintainer"
to mean both "this person cares about and is the
primary reviewer and yes/no decision for them" and
also "this person is responsible for getting the
patches into the tree". Perhaps we should instead
define a new letter tag for the latter ?
