Doubt it's intentional. The get-maintainer script seems confused and
lists no maintainers?

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl include/linux/ww_mutex.h
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

While the normal mutex header works fine.

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl include/linux/mutex.h
Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> (maintainer:LOCKING PRIMITIVES)
Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> (maintainer:LOCKING PRIMITIVES)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list:LOCKING PRIMITIVES)
