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.
