Please remember that not everybody uses git. The MAINTAINERS data should be available in the kernel source itself.

It may be useful to generate a MAINTAINERS file into releases yes.

I must say though that "why?" would also be a question. I personally don't think there's a whole lot wrong with more and more expecting people who submit patches (for whom this automation is intended) to be using git. Back in the BK days there were lots of reasons for resisting any and all dependency on the source code management tool but there don't seem to be too many left today as far as I'm concerned.

If it's about non-developer users, I suspect it would to a fairly large degree be an "in theory" thing to expect that said user does want the information in a downloaded releases, but not in git, and not online where git-web could also easily display all the information right alongside the files.

But yes, sure, anything can be generated...
