I believe:

It's better to have individuals listed
Front-end company/org addresses should be OK
Names without email addresses should not be OK

Other front-end addresses from MAINTAINERS:

AACRAID SCSI RAID DRIVER
P:	Adaptec OEM Raid Solutions
M:	aacraid@adaptec.com

DVB SUBSYSTEM AND DRIVERS
P:	LinuxTV.org Project
M:	linux-media@vger.kernel.org

HIGHPOINT ROCKETRAID 3xxx RAID DRIVER
P:	HighPoint Linux Team
M:	linux@highpoint-tech.com
