: Aah, then there's a misunderstanding here. Nothing was moved to the top
: (at least not by me). I only updated the bottom part to match reality,
: i.e. removed lines where some maintainer removed himself from a Makefile
: but forgot to remove himself from the bottom in src/MAINTAINERS.

OK.  I'st just had time to review what you'd done.  I misunderstood
what you'd done.  Sorry for the hassle.

: So if the plan is to scrap the bottom, plus MAINTAINER= in Makefiles
: entirely without further inquiries we're in violent agreement. But
: I'll leave that to you, as it appears that touching MAINTAINERS is a
: recipe for heat generation :-)

There's a long history to that file that isn't entirely happy and
joyful.

Warner
