I looked for a MAINTAINER line in the Makefile so I could do that, but there
was none :-(  It would be nice if people would claim advisory MAINTAINERship
(as opposed to nothing at all, or dictatorial MAINTAINERship) more.  I was
not going to find some heuristic to determine who has been most active in
the file(1) code in the past N months; if it hasn't been touched recently,
it's not necessarily easy to find out who has been touching it in less
recent history.

If it were a controversial kind of change, possibly like adding a new file,
I would have taken the much longer time required to research that.  I'm
certain, though, that I put the entry in the right place since it follows
the historical direction of MPEG stuff being put in "animation", despite it
being a format which can have video and/or audio like RealMedia files.
