Hi Joe,
I ran checkpatch.pl against the following:
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1136334/
I did update MAINTAINERS, but I still get
"does MAINTAINERS need updating?" warning.
Why?
$ scripts/checkpatch.pl
0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#18:
Documentation/{kbuild => admin-guide}/namespaces.rst | 0
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 14 lines checked
NOTE: For some of the reported defects, checkpatch may be able to
mechanically convert to the typical style using --fix or --fix-inplace.
0001-doc-move-namespaces.rst-out-of-kbuild-directory.patch has style
problems, please review.
NOTE: If any of the errors are false positives, please report
them to the maintainer, see CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.

Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada

Because checkpatch is not able to determine
that you updated MAINTAINERS correctly.
Ignore checkpatch output when you know better.
