So I don't mind the idea of just making MAINTAINERS a directory, but I don't think we want to so far as to make one file per entry. That's what, 1500+ files tiny files or so? Seems a bit excessive.
Maybe we can just do the prefix thing and just do 26 files A-Z instead? Or maybe go by first word (so all the ARM things would go in one place?)
A couple of hundred files sounds fine. A couple of thousand files sound a bit excessive..
