I hope you did realize that the two pages:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html
https://www.kernel.org/doc/linux/MAINTAINERS

come from the same source file, it is simply the MAINTAINERS file in
the root directory of the git repository that is then processed and
placed to those locations above.

So, you only need to modify MAINTAINERS and send a patch.

I suggest you write up and summarize what parse-maintainers does.
