Subject: [PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: Add "B:" preferred bug reporting method

Different subsystems and drivers have different preferred ways of
receiving bug reports; mailing list or bugzillas at various
locations. Add "B:" entry for specifying the preference to guide bug
reporters at the right location.
