Motivation for this change

Was inconveniently sorted since #36119. Namely since then all uppercase letters were before lowercase ones, so it's sorted like A-Za-z.

This restored the proper sorting and also corrects all formatting errors.

I used a mix of Nix, jq and vim to do the transformation, nothing was done by hand. I also checked via jq that all handles are still there (can also be seen on the commit, lines added = lines removed).

I'd like to get this merged asap so I don't have to deal with merge conflicts. I noticed this because lots of people in PRs are adding their handle to the A-Z list.

Edit: This was how I did it (in case I need to repeat it after a conflict:

• nix-instantiate --eval --strict --json -E 'let list = import ./maintainer-list.nix; lib = import <nixpkgs/lib>; in lib.sort (l: r: lib.toLower l.key < lib.toLower r.key) (map (n: { key = n; value = list.${n}; }) (builtins.attrNames list))' | jq from_entries > new.nix
• In Vim:
  • :%s/"\(.*\)":/\1 =
  • :%s/$/;
  • :%s/,;/;
  • :%s/{;/{
  • Delete last ; and copy the description at the top from the original maintainer-list.nix
