The use of the linux-sh mailing list has evolved somewhat over time, from SH related to ARM related. Its name (obviously) has not evolved.
Dropping linux-sh@vger.kernel.org from portions of the MAINTAINERS file as you suggest would essentially leave the Renesas ARM work without a mailing list or patchwork instance. Both of which are actively used for that work.
Off-hand I can think of three solutions to this problem:
1. Live with the noise 2. Establish a new list (and possibly patchwork instance) for the SH work. 3. Establish a new list and patchwork instance for the ARM work.
