    Yeah, I didn't take courage to become a real maintainer, being always 
short of time... But I was annoyed by dubious quality patches being merged 
recently.

    Only DaveM.

    OK, will remove, if that's OK.

PS: Since you seem to be get_maintainers.pl maintainer, I (and not only I)
would like to propose a switch to suppress the committers/authors/etc. It's 
generally annoying and unhelpful to have the bunch of people listed, none of 
which usually are a good addressees for the patches...
