I found it. The XDP maintainer entry has:
K: xdp
This matches Documentation/hwmon/index.rst.
$ grep xdp Documentation/hwmon/index.rst
xdpe12284
It seems to me that a context match such as "xdp" in MAINTAINERS isn't
really appropriate. "xdp" matches a total of 348 files in the kernel.
The large majority of those is not XDP related. The maintainers
of XDP (and all the listed mailing lists) should not be surprised
to get a large number of odd review requests if they want to review
every single patch on files which include the term "xdp".
