Is there a consensus/majority opinion on this?

Should names and email addresses in MAINTAINERS be integrated?
Should it stay as-is or be changed to:

M: name <email>
M: name2 <email2>

or

M: name <email>, name2 <email2>

When multiple names are on a single line,
the M: line length can get relatively long.

The longest lines are 240 chars long.
