Based on Linus' script to get the email address of a maintainer, I wrote 
this bash script to get
an indication of relevant lists. Maybe you can make use of the part that 
parses the
MAINTAINERS file for relevant lists?

git log --since="1 year ago"  "$@" | sed -n "s/^    .[-a-z]*by: \(.*\) <.*$/\1/p" |
sort | uniq | sort -n -r | while read -r name; do
        sed -n "/^P:[ \t]*.*$name/,/^$/{
                s/^L:[ \t]*\(.*\)$/\1/p
        }" ./MAINTAINERS
done | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r | while read -r nr list; do
        tot=`grep -c "^L:\W*.*$list.*" ./MAINTAINERS`
        echo "`expr $nr / \( $tot + 1 \)` $nr $tot $list"
done | sort -r | cut -d " " -f2- | while read -r nr tot list; do
        echo -e "$nr/$tot Acks were commited by maintainers of list $list"
done
