In Linux there's 10+ really important, not yet implemented features to implement, there's 100+ under-maintained subsystems to maintain, there's 1000+ not yet fixed bugs to fix, there's 10,000+ ugly driver files to be improved and there's 1,000,000+ stylistic errors to fix. Mucking with the MAINTAINERS file on the level you did in this patch comes some time after we've fixed the 1,000,000+ stylistic errors. Could you please stop mucking with these patterns and start dealing with some of the more important problems we have?
