The proc_dohung_task_timeout_secs() function is incorrectly marked
as having a __user buffer as argument 3. However this is not the
case and it is casing multiple sparse warnings. Fix the following
warnings by removing __user from the argument:
kernel/hung_task.c:237:52: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)

Yeah, adding Andrew would be a good option. And I guess
kernel-janitors?

Might be worth adding some of what get_maintainer spits out:

Since (see below) the script wasn't clear I just cc our management.

I think only akpm would be one of those, given no overall
maintainer I had a look and just use the kernel list and
hope someone picks it up.
