Not really, more on the people selected by the person writing the
bindings, confirmed by them being merged.

Traditionally, Linux as the biggest software project with the most
active subsystem maintainers do the reviewing and take the
responsibility for them.

Technically, e.g. BSD people could appear
on the devicetree mailinglist and review patches and suggest
maintainership from their side, but I haven't seen them much
around. Neither Apple Computer or anyone else who ought
to be there but isn't.
