As I see it, this list is almost guaranteed to a) be incomplete, b) be
outdated almost from the start, c) require often patching of your
HOWTO to keep updated when tree locations/names change or people
change email addr.

Wouldn't it be better to simply point to http://kernel.org/git for the list?
And email addresses for people can be found in CREDITS & MAINTAINERS,
why duplicate info here instead of pointing to those 2 canonical
documents?
