I have to admit that personally I've always found the MAINTAINERS file more of an irritation than anything else. The first place _I_ tend to look personally is actually in the source files themselves (although that may be a false statistic - the kind of people I tend to have to look up aren't the main maintainers at all, but more single driver people etc).
It might not be a bad idea to just make that "mention maintainer at the top of the file" the common case.
