Maybe something like:

MAINTAINERS: UPDATES TO THIS FILE
M: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
S: Odd fixes
F: MAINTAINERS

But then Andrew tried to get me added as a checkpatch
maintainer and I demurred, so he'll have to add himself if
he wants.

Anyway, even without a specific MAINTAINERS maintainer entry,
get_maintainers uses git log history and Andrew shows up anyway.

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f MAINTAINERS
Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:51/331=15%)
Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:39/331=12%)
Joe Perches <joe@xxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:25/331=8%)
"David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:25/331=8%)
Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (commit_signer:22/331=7%)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)
