It would be nice if MAINTAINERS was sorted in some manner I comprehended. :-) Likewise, it would be nice to constrain the set of entries in the "notes" column to a fairly standard set, and call it "constraints", with notes being used for additional commentary. There would also be the temptation to make "subsystem" be more structured -- perhaps a path/file/set/... of some kind, which might work in many cases. Vis. src/usr.sbin/mergemaster dougb prefer-preapprove src/contrib/binutils obrien preapprove src/contrib/gcc obrien preapprove src/sys/dev/ata sos prefer-preapprove src/sys/dev/ahc gibbs prefer-preapprove ... (recognizing that some parts of the system live in many directories, ...) This would make it far easier to take a file and determine if it has a maintainer.
