It did not work for here, and I don't understand perl well enough. If
possible, it would be nice to aggregate multiple entries onto one
line. I.e.:

P: Len Brown
M: len.brown@intel.com
P: Pavel Machek
M: pavel@ucw.cz
P: Rafael J. Wysocki
M: rjw@sisk.pl
L: linux-pm@lists.linux-foundation.org
S: Supported

->

P: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>, Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>, Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
L: linux-pm@lists.linux-foundation.org
S: Supported

...
Thanks for your work!
Pavel
