While I realize what you say matches what the description of
M: says in ./MAINTAINERS, I'm afraid we also assign the
meaning of "is the maintainer of" to it, i.e. L: is not a
suitable equivalent (at least I don't think a list can
reasonably be considered a "maintainer"). It should perhaps
rather be R: the have this meaning.

As a side note, in addition I notice that M: says to mail
patches _to_ the listed people, which contradicts information
on e.g. the wiki where people are asked to send patches _to_
the list, with maintainers _cc_-ed (personally I prefer the
latter very much).
