About 200 of those names haven't signed or authored a single commit in 3+ years. Any desire to shorten the MAINTAINERS entries and orphan or delete those sections that that seem to have a single apparently inactive maintainer? Maybe 25 of those M: entries are actually email exploder type uses that should likely stay listed.
