It's OK to find maintainers in files, but what about the
B: bug reporting and T: source code repository location lines,

Those seem useful.

People feel like their mails go into a void when no
responses happen after sending to nameless addresses.

It's better to have a named individual as a maintainer
rather than an unspecified exploder address.

It's OK to have both, but just the exploder doesn't
really have that much value as it's faceless.

This T: line should be something else.

Perhaps
W;	https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next
T:	git https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next.git
