I still think this is not a good patch nor mechanism to show what is generally used as exploders rather than individuals.
Effectively only individuals can submit patches and so can be M: Maintainers.
I believe these entries should really use R: Reviewer entries and keep the descriptive naming content.
The descriptive naming does add value and this patch loses that value.
