I understand your intentions, but I have to admit that I seriously dislike this approach. It has been quite a long way to come up with boards.cfg, which would attempt to colect all relevant information for a board in a single database. In my opinion, this is still the right way we should go: maintain all related information in a single place.
What you do here means we start distributing the relevant information again over a number of different files. We all know that keeping several such files in sync is not only a PITA - it simply does not work.
Instead of adding such MAINTAINERs files, you should strive to extract the relevant information from the existing database (i. e. the boards.cfg file - or whatever we decide to have instead of it).
In any case, scattering such data all over the place is a bad thing to do.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
