I didn't say it was a good idea, just that it would work =)
You can script something smarter. I'm attaching a python script called
maintainer.py. You can use find/xargs to search by maintainer email:
$ find $REPOS/gentoo.git/ -type f -name 'metadata.xml' | \
xargs ./maintainer.py m...@gentoo.org

metadata.xml is required for every package, somebody screwed up. In any
case, without it, you have no idea who the maintainer is, so you can
ignore that package.
