You're right, it's the same name, new email address. It's just standardizing, a name for an email address.
Scripts that parse MAINTAINERS have difficulty figuring out names for addresses when the style isn't consistent.
At some point, it'd be nicer for people that manually cut and paste entries in MAINTAINERS to have the lines appear like:
M: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru>
There is a script to do this conversion. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/1/275
cheers, Joe
