The MAINTAINERS file is not very helpful in this case. You need to send dtc patches to the devicetree-compiler list
devicetree-compiler@vger.kernel.org
Subscription info is at
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#devicetree-compiler
After changes are made by the dtc maintainer, we pull the new version of dtc into the Linux tree.
