It could've been avoided if you assumed the maintainership yourself in
past updates.
Strictly speaking you were breaking the timeout rule each time. The
established way
to counter maintainer timeout is to put a change that resets
MAINTAINER, wait 2 weeks,
then push it. You didn't care about that, but now are worrying about a
"useless" commit.
