The maintainers file is fine to have a new stanza:

+IOMMU FD
+M:     Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>
+M:     Kevin Tian <kevin.tian@intel.com>
+L:     iommu@lists.linux.dev
+S:     Maintained
+F:     Documentation/userspace-api/iommufd.rst
+F:     drivers/iommu/iommufd/
+F:     include/uapi/linux/iommufd.h
+F:     include/linux/iommufd.h

It says who to send patches to for review..
