When searching for inactive maintainers it's useful to filter out mailing list addresses. Such "maintainers" will obviously never feature in a "From:" line of an email or a review tag.
Since "L:" entries only provide the address of a mailing list without a fancy name extend this pattern to "M:" entries. Alternatively we could reserve M: entries for humans only and move the fake "maintainers" to L:. While I'd personally prefer to reserve M: for humans only, I'm not 100% that's a great choice either, given most L: entries are in fact open mailing lists with public archives.
