The maintainer is effectively managed in Gerrit today by Github groups.
Those are private, but we could certainly make them public.

    "name": "autotest-maintainers",
    "description": "[Gerrit] maintainers for repositories associated with automated testing",
    "name": "bitbake-maintainers",
    "description": "[Gerrit] maintainers for repositories containing bitbake recipes.",
    "name": "c-maintainers",
    "description": "[Gerrit] maintainers of packages written in C.",
    "name": "cpp-maintainers",
    "description": "[Gerrit] maintainers of packages written in C++",
    "name": "python-maintainers",
    "description": "[Gerrit] maintainers of packages written in python.",

I'm not sure how you can enforce specific reviewers in Gerrit without
yet another config file per repo that we need to maintain.
