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..
