Different subsystems and drivers have different preferences for where to file bugs and what information to include. 686564434e88 ("MAINTAINERS: Add bug tracking system location entry type") added "B:" entry for this.
Clarify that "B:" specifies the URI for the bug tracker directly, a web page for detailed info on filing bugs, or a mailto: URI.

Rafael, I just noticed the "B:" entry popped up in MAINTAINERS from 686564434e88 ("MAINTAINERS: Add bug tracking system location entry type").
I've been pushing this for some time now, and I'd sent the last patch adding this before the kernel summit discussion you refer to [1], and Andrew picked it up, along with the rest in the series. This is where the whole idea came from!
Specifying "B:" as URI lets subsystems decide whether it contains a bug tracker or something else.
