I happen to like seeing "real" names.  Is it possible to leverage email 
conventions to allow a comment of sorts with each email:

perhaps "any" or "all" rather than omnibus if that is too much a 
fifty-cent word.  Everyone is still in one place, but with some 
indication of specialization/generalization.  If the parenthesis form 
cannot be used, (I've not seen it elsewhere in MAINTAINERS) then perhaps 
the quoted form.

(And yes, "den mother" was meant as a bit of levity :)
