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@domain>
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

I think this Q entry isn't as useful as it could be
because it doesn't show the status of any patch.

It looks as if every patch ever sent to dm-devel is
still listed as "new".

When kernel.org patchwork was unavailable for many months we migrated
over to a private instance - and we still haven't moved back! I
discussed this with Mike a couple of weeks ago and we decided to have a
go at moving back to the public instance again before the next merge
window.
