[PATCH v2 09/11] docs: maintainers_include: don't ignore invalid profile entries

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 09:29:32 EST


Currently, there is a "P" entry for Rust pin-init that is
neither a valid ReST file inside Documentation nor an URL.

A proper fix is to either convert/move the file or point to
a URL. Yet, the parser should be able to pick what's there and
show on its output.

Add a logic to display such files at maintainers-handbook.
