    Maybe.

    As a preface:

    I doubt the need for associating a subset of the files
    patterns for a subsystem with a particular reviewer.

    If a reviewer is interested enough in a subsystem to
    volunteer to read patches then that reviewer likely won't
    be overburdened by getting a few more emailed patches
    that may be outside a scope of interest.

    To answer the question:

    If it's done, there needs to be some mechanism to
    associate a particular reviewer and the files.

    Ordering of "letter:" types in MAINTAINERS is currently
    unstructured.

    Given a desire to have more than one reviewer interested
    in different files, any subset use will either impose some
    ordering requirement on the file list or some association
    with the reviewer and the reviewer's file patterns of interest.
