Maybe something like the script below to break up the MAINTAINERS file
into separate files. It also uses underscores for spaces in the
section header -> filename translation.
This seems to work OK except for this single section which doesn't
follow the normal single line section header style.
EDAC-XGENE
APPLIED MICRO (APM) X-GENE SOC EDAC
M: Loc Ho <l...@apm.com>
S: Supported
F: drivers/edac/xgene_edac.c
F: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/edac/apm-xgene-edac.txt
That one would need manual fixup.
