With the proposed changes it's nearly trivial to build the traditional MAINTAINERS file with a Makefile rule, so you've lost nothing. Plus you get the additional info (which the collecting script, two lines of sed in my estimate, would duly include[1]) which _file_ actually is maintained by whom. Which makes e.g. coordinating patches and bug reporting much easier.
