Because there aren't any entries like
P: First Last M: maintainer@domain.tld
where the name was a P: entry and the email address was on the next line.
That was the form before 2009, but there were still a few entries until you changed them recently.
A long time ago:
commit 8b58be884a9fd650abb7f7adf3f885fb9cecd79d Author: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Date: Wed Jul 29 15:04:30 2009 -0700
MAINTAINERS: coalesce name and email address lines
Switch the MAINTAINERS email address format from
P: Linus Torvalds M: torvalds@linux-foundation.org
to
M: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
