Correct. But only the SPEAr platform patches. Not the peripheral patches like 
designware ethernet, USB, NAND etc. Those will still go through the 
responsible subsystem custodian. So its mainly those patches related to files 
in SPEAr board files and under arch/arm.

I think Wolfgang will create it initially for you. Wolfgang, please correct me 
if I'm wrong.

Are you referring to this page?

http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/CustodianGitTrees

It should be quite up-to-date. Though I haven't read it for quite a while. I 
suggest that you give it a try and ask on the list once you have some 
questions.

Thanks,
Stefan
