Jani Nikula proposes patches to add a few new letter prefixes for "B:" bug reporting and "C:" maintainer chatting to the various sections of MAINTAINERS.
Add a generic mechanism to get_maintainer.pl to find sections that have any combination of "[A-Z]" letter prefix types in a section.

(A0 seems to be the no break space. That character was inserted more often further down the patch.)
Anybody else seeing this?
Yes, it's been reported and should be fixed in -mm. The fix should show up in -next in a little bit.
For now, try: $ sed -i -e 's/\xA0/ /g' scripts/get_maintainer.pl
cheers, Joe
