No, I hadn't ment that, as I figured get_maintainers.pl already parsed the MAINTAINERS file, so it might be easier to do it there.
But you are probably right, it's only an issue when you add a MAINTAINERS entry, so it should go into that script.
Although I'm really loath to add any more to that script, it's slow enough as it is on large patches :(
