More like the entries in MAINTAINERS are broken.
L: entries should not have "names".

I suggest sending a patch to MAINTAINERS to remove the "names"
or change the non-conforming entries to "M:"

$ git grep -h "^L:" MAINTAINERS | \
  grep -v -P "^L:\s+[\w\_\.-]+@[\w_-]+\.\w+"
L:	Mali DP Maintainers <malidp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
L:	Mali DP Maintainers <malidp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
L:	The AWS Nitro Enclaves Team <aws-nitro-enclaves-devel@xxxxxxxxxx>
