That's exactly what I intended to do:

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nokeywords --nogit --nogit-fallback include/sound/sof/control.h

Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz> (maintainer:SOUND)

Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.com> (maintainer:SOUND)

alsa-devel@alsa-project.org (moderated list:SOUND)

linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

Did you see anything wrong with this or something...?

Thanks
