Hah, those are tabs, not spaces.

scripts/checkpatch.pl (comment) says something about this being a style thing:
# Check signature styles

WARNING: Use a single space after Cc:
#29: 
Cc:     "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.peter...@oracle.com>



Email standards (RFCs) sure don't require a single space.

and I would like to be able to copy N lines from MAINTAINERS file and then
replace either the M: and/or L: (actually just the 'M' or 'L') with
"To" or "Cc" and be done with it, instead of having to replace TAB on each
line with a space also.

Does anyone know where this "signature style" check came from?
I don't see it in any style guide.

thanks,
