Unfortunately, there are some problems with kernel-cmd: it seems
that it only partially parses the ReST file, not accepting several ReST tags.
See the enclosed patch and see the produced html file at:
Documentation/output/user/MAINTAINERS.html
Then run the script manually with:
./Documentation/sphinx/format_maintainers.pl MAINTAINERS >Documentation/user/MAINTAINERS.rst
And see the produced html output after re-building the user book.
PS.: You can test it on my git tree, with has the code to produce
it at the lkml-books branch, at
http:://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git

Mauro
[PATCH] docs-rst: user: add MAINTAINERS
including MAINTAINERS using ReST is tricky, because all
maintainer's entries are like:
FOO SUBSYSTEM:
M: My Name <my@name>
L: mailing@list
S: Maintained
F: foo/bar
On ReST, this would be displayed on a single line. Using
alias, like |M|, |L|, ... won't solve, as an alias in
Sphinx doesn't accept breaking lines.
So, instead of changing every line at MAINTAINERS, let's
use kernel-cmd extension in order to parse it via a script.
