Reviewers are people who should be Cc'ed on all patches, as are
Maintainers, so no, fundamentally they are treated the same by a
Submitter.

Here is some output for Maintainers/Reviews from get_maintainer.pl.

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f arch/arm/boot/dts/vf500.dtsi
Shawn Guo <shawnguo@kernel.org> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
Sascha Hauer <kernel@pengutronix.de> (maintainer:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> (reviewer)
Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> (maintainer:ARM PORT)
linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org (moderated list:ARM/FREESCALE VYBRID ARM ARCHITECTURE)
devicetree@vger.kernel.org (open list:OPEN FIRMWARE AND FLATTENED DEVICE TREE BINDINGS)
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)

I'm sure we can make the output even more similar by listing the
MAINTAINERS tag after "reviewer" too.
