# What was the point of this commit?

Matching file contents with reality.

# You removed the '@FreeBSD.org' from some lines but not others.

The new list was generated by
find /usr/src -name Makefile | xargs grep MAINTAINER=

# You also removed some maintainers
# altogether, which I assume was with their approval (this was unclear
# from your commit log).

That was because they did not show up in the output of the above command.
>From this I concluded that they did as is recommended in src/MAINTAINERS:

	Following are the entries from the Makefiles, and a few other sources.
	Please remove stale entries from both their origin, and this file.

	Please also consider removing the lines from the files listed below and
	stating your preferences here instead.

I also sent mails to all remaining people/lists mentioned in Makefile
MAINTAINER= lines in order to converge to the canonical maintainership
declaration, the body being

	Dear FreeBSD Maintainer,

	you receive this email because one or more Makefiles below src have a
	line 'MAINTAINER=<you>' in them. The canonical way to express
	maintainership is a centralized file, namely src/MAINTAINERS. Please
	consider removing the MAINTAINER=... line in the Makefile(s) and adding
	an equivalent line in src/MAINTAINERS, and remove yourself from the list
	at the end of src/MAINTAINERS.

	This will aid other committers in obeying your maintainership more
	easily. Thanks!

I hope this clarifies reason and intent of my commit.

Regards,

	Jens
