Last week I hacked a bit on what my suggestion would look like, but
decided I really don't have time for this. Anyway, attached is what I
put together in less than an hour in case anyone wants to pick it up
from here.

You'll need strictyaml and whatthepatch from pip. The latter could
perhaps be replaced with something better but it fit the bill now and it
took only minutes to start using. Using strictyaml with a schema is a
really powerful tool here.

Put the attachments in igt root (they're not even patches, sorry), and
try:

$ ./maintainers.py some-igt.patch

The MAINTAINERS used here is just a conversion from some earlier patch,
don't put too much weight on the content, rather the format.

BR,
Jani.
