To be absolutely honest, I didn't even look for MAINTAINER flags. I
was under the impression that MAINTAINER means that you have an
interest in this code and would like to be notified of any changes
in case you know of a better way of doing it or in case they conflict
with local changes that you haven't yet committed.
If this is the case, then please feel free to back out my changes and
apply your own. I can then make a mental note not to do the MFC.
BTW, I appreciate that this message sounds somewhat arrogant, but
IMHO the MAINTAINER bit is not meant to prevent progress but rather
to improve coherency for a given piece of software.
