[U-Boot] [RFC] [PATCH 5/5] MAINTAINERS: refactor file for easier processing

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello Albert,

First I'd like to say  I do like this change and it can improve a lot
how tools can make "The Right Thing" automatically (here patman comes
to my head).

So I miss a way of doing same sorting and format using shell script. I
am not a 'vi' user (but an Emacs one) but I think the most generic way
would be to provide a shell line, or script, for it.
