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>
