If you are sending me a patch, please include me on the cover letter for the patch series. You don't have to send me the entire patch series (although for something like a Documentation patch which affects x86 I would consider including the union list as well.)
I think regardless of level of interest, the definition of cross-architectural operations is exactly the arch maintainers job, so it isn't really out of place to "spam" us...
