It's been a few years since we've sorted this thing, and the end result is that we've added MAINTAINERS entries in the wrong order, and a number of entries have their fields in non-canonical order too. So roll this boulder up the hill one more time by re-running ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --order on it. This file ends up being fairly painful for merge conflicts even normally, since unlike almost all other kernel files it's one of those "everybody touches the same thing", and re-ordering all entries is only going to make that worse. But the alternative is to never do it at all, and just let it all rot.. The rc2 week is likely the quietest and least painful time to do this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
