RESEND patch series (first try was using wrong mail list!).

This introduces support for the MAINTAINERS file (with the same Linux
kernel syntax), get_maintainers.pl, and the b4 configuration file.

With these changes, the MAINTAINERS file can now be used to organize and
manage maintainers, reviewers, and other roles more effectively, similar
to the approach used in the Linux kernel. Additionally, it allows for
reuse of the existing tooling for these tasks (b4 + get_maintainers.pl).

b4 example workflow:

  b4 prep --fork-point origin/main --new add-MAINTAINERS-file

  b4 prep --edit-cover

  b4 prep --auto-to-cc
  Will collect To: addresses using get_maintainer.pl
  Will collect Cc: addresses using get_maintainer.pl
  Collecting To/Cc addresses
      + To: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
      + Cc: linux-kdevops@linux.dev
  ---
  You can trim/expand this list with: b4 prep --edit-cover
  Invoking git-filter-repo to update the cover letter.

Suggestions on how to split the MAINTAINERS file?

And can we get volunteers to expand this?
