Good to know.

On next-20190211, the checkpatch issues in line 12607 to 12611 are not 
reported anymore, as I already fixed them in commit 70e6e7d92bca 
("MAINTAINERS: use common indentation").

So, the issue addressed here and in the later follow-up patch is the only 
style-related issue in MAINTAINERS.

After that, everything in MAINTAINERS is stylistically clean.
