For that stuff you can just create a mail filter that shovels everything
touching anything dsi related on dri-devel (people arleady should send all
stuff there anyway) into a special folder/mark it as important. If you
rely on people to always use get_maintainers.pl that won't work properly
anyway.

So if all you want is to notice all dsi related patches then adding a
maintainer entry isn't a good solution anyway. So best to drop this one.
