Instead of this childishness, I'm guessing what you meant to say was;
unfortunately the current behaviour of the script is such that, if a
person is marked as a Reviewer and a Maintainer, the final one
mentioned in MAINTAINERS will take precedence over each of the others.
In other words, only one (the final) reference will be printed.

If so, thanks Joe that's informative, and yes, I can see how that
might cause issues in some cases.
