false.

git-fallback is _not_ used when there is a listed maintainer for a
specific file.

If there is a use of git-fallback, it's because there is _no_
specified maintainer for a specific file.

   --git-fallback => use git when no exact MAINTAINERS pattern (default: 1)

i.e.: It's not "your file" if you don't maintain it.
