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

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