On the other hand, what information is there for someone to know that
Steve should be involved in a review? There is nothing in MAINTAINERS.
The review was on phab for almost a month, and phab is supposedly the
preferred way to do reviews these days.

Steve is no longer a committer, but that doesn't preclude him having a
phab account and participating in reviews. If he doesn't like using
phab (and I can certainly understand that POV), an entry in MAINTAINERS
would still be helpful, unless we have a rule that only committers can
be listed in there.
