Try https://kernelnewbies.org/ or Documentation/SubmittingPatches for
Kernel submission procedures.

Yes, this can be tricky at times. One tool to assist is
scripts/get_maintainer.pl. Other than that, simply use all addresses
mentioned in a MAINTAINERS entry for a subsystem. And if you touch
multiple subsystems, just CC them all.

It would be really good if that would work. Having a STOP betwen those
messages is unsafe. It won't probably matter for your setup, but
still...
