I believe I know how the MAINTAINERS
entries work.

From MAINTAINERS:
M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@domain>
L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area

Mailing lists aren't maintainers.

Maybe Analog Devices should create
an email address alias like
linux-devel@analog.com

btw, from blackfin.uclinux.org:

-----------------------
We are moving the open source help forums for u-boot, GNU Toolchain and
Linux for Blackfin to the Analog Devices' EngineerZone since Oct.24,
2011.

These old forums will turn to readonly after Nov.1st, 2011. Please only
ask new questions in the new Engineer Zone communities after the
launching.
---------------------

So maybe the support links should be:
http://ez.analog.com/community/dsp/open-source/linux-blackfin
