[PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Start using the 'reviewer' (R) tag

Since eafbaac ("MAINTAINERS: Add "R:" designated-reviewers tag") we
have been able to tag specific people as Reviewers.  These are key
individuals who are tasked with or volunteer to review code submitted
to a subsystem or specific file.  However, according to MAINTAINERS
we have 1046 Maintainers and only a mere 22 Reviewers.  I believe
these numbers to be incorrect, as many of these Maintainers are in
fact Reviewers.

I have taken the time to identify some of the Reviewers who pertain
to subsystems which I look after, and have changed their status from
Maintainer (collector of patches) to Reviewer (reviewer of code).
