What a happy little accident it will be if it they do. One could say
"they haven't worked in years" and give them the stick ;-)

But seriously - yes it still lists Dave/dri-devel. Here is the output

$ scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/gpu/drm/sis/

David Airlie <airlied at linux.ie> (maintainer:DRM DRIVERS)
Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com> (commit_signer:1/1=100%)
Mikko Rapeli <mikko.rapeli at iki.fi> (commit_signer:1/1=100%,authored:1/1=100%)
dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org (open list:DRM DRIVERS)
linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)

And for reference

$ git grep -2 -h "drm/sis" MAINTAINERS

DRM DRIVER FOR SIS VIDEO CARDS
S:      Orphan / Obsolete
F:      drivers/gpu/drm/sis/
F:      include/uapi/drm/sis_drm.h
