Yes, that's a problem, and that's why I posted a filter to do the bulk of the work. It seems like the easiest way would be for Linus to run the script and generate a patch at his end. There are only a handful of patches in -mm that touch MAINTAINERS, so it shouldn't generate too many conflicts there. Bjorn
