You're right, it's the same name, new email address.
It's just standardizing, a name for an email address.

Scripts that parse MAINTAINERS have difficulty
figuring out names for addresses when the style
isn't consistent.

At some point, it'd be nicer for people that
manually cut and paste entries in MAINTAINERS
to have the lines appear like:

M:	Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@...l.ru>

There is a script to do this conversion.
