I have limited time for the list, but I also tend to pop in on certain topics: the SHA-256 transition, commit and tag signing, authentication, translations, and so on. However, outside of the signing code, a lot of that isn't centralized in one place.

I also wouldn't be able to commit to signing up for any subsystem in a MAINTAINERS file, but I'm happy to be CC'd if folks think I'm knowledgeable about something or if it's an area they think my opinion would be valuable.

I can't speak for others, though, so I don't know if a MAINTAINERS-style approach would be valuable for them.
