VMware mailing lists in the MAINTAINERS file are private lists meant
for VMware-internal review/notification for patches to the respective
subsystems. So, in an earlier discussion [1][2], it was recommended to
mark them as such. Update all the remaining VMware mailing list
references to use that format -- "L: list@address (private)".

Maybe replace "(private)" with "(mail alias)"?

This makes it rather clear that it is a valid address to send patches
to, but there isn't public read access like to a ML.
