In the MAINTAINERS file, names and emails are separated by tabs. One of
the entries recently added used spaces. This patch corrects this.
The check-MAINTAINERS.py script breaks a bit when this happens. This
patch also adds warning about this situation into the script.
ChangeLog:
* MAINTAINERS: Use tabs between name and email.
contrib/ChangeLog:
* check-MAINTAINERS.py: Add warning about not using tabs.
