Perhaps this is more of a hint to contributors than to maintainers
(see earlier discussion on who is the target audience for these documents).

It would help contributors know some names of useful reviewers (and
thus this list should be picked up by scripts/get_maintainer.pl to help
the user compose Cc: lists for e-mail patches).
