Yes.  See the "Creating Branches" section in the binutils/MAINTAINERS 
document for details.

(Unfortunately this section does not address the subject of creating a 
group of related branches).

I have no objections to your using /vendor/RISC-V/...  and if it helps 
to keep things simple, then please do go for it.
