No "why" reply given.

An option is not using reverse christmas tree to both
avoid ordering

I think this is your own personal taste rather than an
actual valuable addition for subsystem maintenance.

And if this a serious requirement for the subsystem
you oversee, you should add it to something like a
maintainer-entry-profile with a "P:" line in MAINTAINERS.
