Maybe something like:

MAINTAINERS: UPDATES TO THIS FILE
M:	Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
S:	Odd fixes
F:	MAINTAINERS

But then Andrew tried to get me added as a checkpatch
maintainer and I demurred, so he'll have to add himself if
he wants.

Anyway, even without a specific MAINTAINERS maintainer entry,
get_maintainers uses git log history and Andrew shows up anyway.
