Mathias, can you elaborate on why this would be a problem for you? I
mean, the files would be automatically created and mostly automatically
updated, according to Olav's plan.

While MAINTAINERS is good, there would be more data usable for more
things (Olav already gave some examples). So just saying "no, it looks
like horrible bloat" is not really convincing.
