I don't know that specific answer, but in terms of general policy...
I wouldn't apply this patch until they have been in Documentation/people-removal-schedule.txt for a year or so ;-) More seriously, its not like MAINTAINERS is a mission critical correctness target -- so I think we can do a better job than just yanking people from the file like this.
