Feels a bit wrong.  Are you sure that *all* of the below "lists" are
not really lists?  If so then OK I suppose.  Or perhaps we should have
a new MAINTAINERS tag to cover this situation.

And shouldn't get_maintainer be made to be more friendly in its
handling of these entries?  Omitting the email address seems kinda dumb.
