Add the current e1000 maintainer to the list of Intel maintainers.

Maybe add an internal exploder to get all the various maintainers on a list if everyone really looks at all patches to intel drivers.

I understand where your coming from and this has been been something that I have been trying to find a "reasonable" solution, which is harder to do than one would expect.

So how do we go about giving this spider web of complex coverage to some clear concise coverage in the MAINTAINERS?

If you have some ideas which may help resolve the issues, I am open to suggestions.
It's great that they all work on all intel drivers, but it seems that you are the nominal maintainer and they are all developers that might work on anything but nothing in particular. I think an internal exploder email address would work well.
