This patch series aims at refactoring MAINTAINERS into an easily processable file.
There are not actually five changes as such; the first four patches are step-by-step cleaning so that the last patch can be created essentially by running an AWK script on MAINTAINERS.
The non-RFC submission will only contain the final MAINTAINERS file (unless of course reviewers prefer this five-patch form).
The AWK script is not included as a file. It is provided here for convenience and functional review. Yes, it is ugly.
