I added a few actual checks for the error cases to the script, fixed
up the problems, and committed the end result.

My perl skills are still very dubious, so I'm not proud of the script,
but it's there as "scripts/parse-mainainers.pl" now. The "output
sorted result" part could *easily* be changed into "output sorted
result into separate files based on the first word of the header" or
something.

But in the meantime, at least that MAINTAINERS file should _really_ be
alpha-sorted now.
