I still think this is not a good patch nor mechanism to show what is generally used as exploders rather than individuals. Effectively only individuals can submit patches and so can be M: Maintainers. I believe these entries should really use R: Reviewer entries and keep the descriptive naming content. The descriptive naming does add value and this patch loses that value.
