The Linux MAINTAINERS file and the Buildroot DEVELOPERS are organized
differently.

The Linux MAINTAINERS file is organized by topic/subsystem, and gives
for this subsystem the list of persons in charge of it.

The Buildroot DEVELOPERS is organized by person, and gives for each
person the list of packages/defconfigs/areas this person is interested
in.

It is unlikely that two different developers will have exactly the same
set of packages/defconfigs/areas they are interested in, so we don't
support having multiple name/e-mail in front of a single list of
packages/defconfigs. In addition, that would break the alphabetic
ordering of the file.

Best regards,

Thomas
