[Sorry for the slowness, I'm kind of tuned out this week] I guess we could do that as a short-term thing. In truth, though, this thing is a database; printing it out linearly is perhaps not the best thing we could do. There should be better ways we could provide access to it. Also, that file is nearly 18K lines long. If some unsuspecting person generates a PDF and prints it, they're going to get something along the lines of 300 pages of MAINTAINERS, which may not quite be what they had in mind. It costs (almost) nothing to put that into HTML output, but other formats could be painful. So I dunno, we need to think this through a bit... jon
