Now, we can run the command: ./scripts/parse-maintainers.pl --order

This will produce a MAINTAINERS.new file in the root directory, with
ordered entries.
Then, we can lookup our corresponding section in MAINTAINERS.new and
order it correspondingly manually and create the patch again with
corrected changes.

[The new ordered file we get currently has a lot of changes when
compared with MAINTAINERS. This is so because there are other sections
and entries which need ordering as well. This is the reason, we cannot
directly replace MAINTAINERS with MAINTAINERS.new (as this might
produce more changes than desired for that patch); rather just fix our
modified lines]
