Hi Linus,
Please run scripts/parse-maintainers.pl to sort the MAINTAINERS file.
It has gained more than 100 out-of-order entries since it was last sorted.
BTW, running the script results in a MAINTAINERS.new file with 5 fewer bytes
than the MAINTAINERS file. This is due to one F: line being changed from
having spaces between F: and the filename to having one tab there instead.
Thanks.

And if you do, please use the --order option too.

Ugh. That file causes the most conflicts, and sorting it makes it horrendous.
But I guess if it should be done, this is about the best time to do it.

Just before -rc1 might be even better - a lot of maintainers trees are
now based on -rc1 :-(
