Hi Joe,
In order to improve the parsing in that routine we should remove all the the double-quotation-marks in the MAINTAINERS ? Maybe we have other better ways? Tell me and i will patch for us.
Like the Greg K-H said, we should firstly notify the maintainers who have the double-quotation-marks in their M:. Then we can make this patch :)

Thanks.
Best Regards.
Harry Wei.
