Just do it manually or cut straight with multi cut.

As @damaggio said there is no simple way to do this in Maya but here is how yuou can do this using multi-cut and target weld.

The key to getting the right edge is to make sure the camera is aligned correctly before cutting as multi-cut is view-dependent.

Hello,

To keep your edges clean with a great spread, you may use this plugin.

This will save you time and make things easier. A must have in my opinion

What's the problem for an entire team of developers to add such a feature?

Why are the years passing by, and Maya isn't producing anything useful? What are you doing there?
Why does Blender have it, but Maya doesn't?
Just add it to Maya's toolset!

I would go with ZenTools.
