What Daniel said is right, we don't have a single point today, we have
boards.cfg, wiki and other stuff. Being able to leverage
get_maintainers.pl would be nice, even if it's a bit of a pain that we
just got things into boards.cfg. On the other hand, it's good that
we've just spent some time sorting and checking the information and it's
a regex'able problem to go from boards.cfg to MAINTAINERS.
