I actually find it quite refreshing.
From ppp/Makefile's log:
----------------------------
revision 1.69
date: 2000/01/29 11:08:00; author: brian; state: Exp; lines: +1 -3
Remove MAINTAINER=
I don't claim to own the code and certainly don't want to discourage
people from fixing or updating it.
[I know it's the 29th, but the FREEZE hasn't yet been posted to committers]

I don't want to take sides because I realise that people can become
quite attached to code that they've put a lot of time into, but to be
fair to Wes, I believe most committers will treat silence as
approval. I know I do, and sometimes it's the only way to make
something happen.
