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.
