Yup, I do that operation many times per day and it's a pita.  I'd much
prefer something in MAINTAINERS which I can just copy-n-paste into a 
changelog and into an email client.

I go to my email client address book first, because it presents the
info in the correct form, and has tab-completion.  But sometimes my
address book has people's non-preferred or old addresses in it, and not
everyone has an address book as voluminous as mine.
