MAINTAINERS: standardize James Bottomley's name

[Joe Perches]

His recent patches and sign-offs have not used "E.J."

This reduces the likelihood that get_maintainers.pl will
list his address twice.

Section "MISCELLANEOUS MCA-SUPPORT" already uses this style.

It is standard:  I like my initials; which, per RFC requires the quotes
because it's a mailing address.

It's not actually required by RFC 2822.

The relevant productions are:

name-addr       =       [display-name] angle-addr
display-name    =       phrase
phrase          =       1*word / obs-phrase
obs-phrase      =       word *(word / "." / CFWS)

Now, obs- usually indicates an obsolete (deprecated
backwards-compatibility) production, but the text states:

   Note: The "period" (or "full stop") character (".") in obs-phrase is
   not a form that was allowed in earlier versions of this or any other
   standard.  Period (nor any other character from specials) was not
   allowed in phrase because it introduced a parsing difficulty
   distinguishing between phrases and portions of an addr-spec (see
   section 4.4).  It appears here because the period character is
   currently used in many messages in the display-name portion of
   addresses, especially for initials in names, and therefore must be
   interpreted properly.  In the future, period may appear in the
   regular syntax of phrase.

Interesting.

Does that mean that vger can stop refusing mails because they include an 
address that has an unquoted name with initials?

If it does it's not RFC 2822 compliant.

Then change the other entry.

And if you really like your initials, you should probably change
the email address format you're using right now and probably the
mechanism you use to send your patches and acks as well.

Look at the name I'm replying to: (no quotes)
	"James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>"

Right now, if somebody uses get_maintainers.pl on a patch for a
file in drivers/scsi, git will find your signoffs as

(no quotes)
	"James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>"

and the scripts/get_maintainers.pl will use MAINTAINERS entry of

(with quotes)
	"James E.J. Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>"

You'll be cc'd twice and .mailmap doesn't have enough information
to select your preferred email address.

cheers, Joe

Assuming people blindly use the scripts, rest assured that my email
system won't collapse under the weight of the extra cc's.
