The use of the linux-sh mailing list has evolved somewhat over time,
from SH related to ARM related. Its name (obviously) has not evolved.

Dropping linux-sh@...r.kernel.org from portions of the MAINTAINERS file as
you suggest would essentially leave the Renesas ARM work without a mailing
list or patchwork instance. Both of which are actively used for that work.

Off-hand I can think of three solutions to this problem:

1. Live with the noise
2. Establish a new list (and possibly patchwork instance) for the SH work.
3. Establish a new list and patchwork instance for the ARM work.
