IMHO - I think it should be the other way around, you should get approval from sub-system maintainers to put their code in charge into auto-selection, unless there's kernel summit decision that says otherwise, is this documented anywhere?
No, we can't get make this a "only take if I agree" as there are _many_ subsystem maintainers who today never mark anything for stable trees, as they just can't be bothered. And that's fine, stable trees should not take up any extra maintainer time if they do not want to do so. So it's simpler to do an opt-out when asked for.
