Indeed, this solves the keeping the list up to date with whats in the tree, and has provision for arbitary numbers of METOO: fields (Though that could get messy, whats to stop Linus getting bombed with a zillion additions from people who just want to get their name in a kernel tarball for free). One way could be approval from the actual maintainer "Yes, he's sent lots of patches, add him to METOO:".
It does seem a little messy having them scattered all over the tree too. Extending top-level MAINTAINERS to add necessary fields could also be done I suppose.
