Example output would be nice to see. Hopefully it is in the

Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>

form, ready to be pasted into an email client?

otoh, we'll sometimes also want the

joe@perches.com,akpm@linux-foundation.org

form for use by scripts.


Also, this:

MAINTAINERS | 1096 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-
1 file changed, 1094 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

isn't practical for me or Stephen to carry, I'm afraid. That's
probably the most-patched file in the kernel. This will need to be a
direct you->Linus thing.

I think the feature is sorely needed and will prove useful.
