Reviewers are people who should be Cc'ed on all patches, as are
Maintainers, so no, fundamentally they are treated the same by a
Submitter.

Here is some output for Maintainers/Reviews from get_maintainer.pl.

 $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi
 Shawn Guo <shawnguo@...nel.org> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 Sascha Hauer <kernel@...gutronix.de> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 Stefan Agner <stefan@...er.ch> (reviewer)
 Russell King <linux@....linux.org.uk> (maintainer:ARM PORT)
 linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org (moderated list:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
 devicetree@...r.kernel.org (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
 linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org (open list)

I'm sure we can make the output even more similar by listing the
MAINTAINERS tag after "reviewer" too.
