Is this part of some other changes to the definition of M and L?

Otherwise I don't agree with the change.

MAINTAINERS states:

        M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@...ain>
        L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area

In the case of dm-devel, it's not merely a "relevant" list, but it is
essential for us: patches to dm must be sent to the list for patchwork
to collect.  I shall also add Mike Snitzer as a joint maintainer.

And did you notice this bit with uapi?
F:      include/linux/dm-*.h
