FWIW, I've been treating Alan as "PATA sub-maintainer", and tend to wait for an Alan review of a PATA driver patch before applying it [unless it's blindingly obvious or Bart chimes etc.].
But yes, overall, libata is certainly not SATA-only anymore, and MAINTAINERS should reflect that.
Maybe a patch like the attached? (DaveM CC'd, since I modified the old-IDE entry as well)
