Practically, the information can go through subsystem maintainers to specific person (you) in such a case, as the tree is still more or less maintained by subsystem maintainers.
But in general, it would be nice to have an easy way to find a maintainer (not author) from a module binary, and I agree MODULE_MAINTAINER can work well for such a purpose. It's no mandatory field, but could be some help.
