Why not include a user-space tool that, when invoked, if you agree to send personnal info, sends your hardware vs driver info to a web database + your email address (maybie even you .config, etc..) ... In case of help for testing new patches/finding a bug/etc.. your email could be used by maintainers to ask for help...

You would'nt even need to search in GIT. Maybie even when ever a patchset is being proposed a mail could be sent to appropriate hardware/or feature pseudo-auto-generated mailing-list?
On lkml I mostly try to follow patches/bugs associated with hardware I use. Why not try to automate the process and get more testers in?
