Am I not allowed to have an opinion just because I happen to also be a core member? And you are quite wrong about me being "hell bent to get rid of maintainership". I just want it refined and clarifed, that's all. I also think it is overused and often for the wrong reasons. You will also note that I specifically used your work on gcc as an example of where it (or something better) *is* needed. But of the ~110 other MAINTAINER= tags in the src/* tree, I'm sure I could find a stack that are hardly **needed** or are pretty much abandoned. gcc is the perfect example of where it is needed. I wont single people out for examples where it is not **needed**, but there are plenty. Or maybe I shouldn't even bother trying to explain, as it looks like you've already made your mind up about what you believe I'm thinking.
