I've never read that before. Learn something new etc...
It seems path prefixes aren't good nor even commonly used.
A review of kernel patch subjects:
$ git log --no-merges --pretty=oneline | \
cut -f2- -d" " | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
is interesting. Here's the head:

Some subsystem maintainers like upper case, some mixed, some lower.
Some aren't consistent. (Staging/staging)
It doesn't seem a rule can be pregenerated so maybe adding these
"C:" lines to MAINTAINERS has some value.
