Hello Linus,

some time ago I sent two patch scripts to LKML that changed the
MAINTAINERS file.  One fixed the alphabetic ordering and another merged
the P and M fields to ease copy'n'paste.

See
	http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/702194
for the details.

I still like both changes, but I think it's not sensible to send you the
resulting patches because MAINTAINERS changes frequently.

If you like these two changes, too, I would be happy if you run the
attached script in your working copy.  It simply wraps the two scripts
and commits the changes.

Note that you need to apply the patch below before the scripts will
work.  And note further that the script expects a clean working copy to
start with, because it uses git commit -a.

Best regards
Uwe
