[Yes, I am not Andrew. ;]

Patches should be sent to a maintainer who is responsible for merging
changes for the driver or $arch or subsystem.
And they should also be Cc-ed to the appropriate mailing list(s) and
source code author(s), usually [unless they are no longer active].

Some source files have author email addresses in them.
Or in a kernel git tree, you can use "git log path/to/source/file.c" to see
who has been making & merging patches to that file.c.
Probably the easiest thing to do is run ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl and
it will try to tell you who to send the patch to.

HTH.
