...IMHO just because there hasn't been any activity for <arbitrary
amount of time> does not automatically mean the subsystem in question
has been abandoned.
I'm using "my" subsystem (QNX4 FS) almost daily, so I don't believe
anything would be gained if get_maintainers.pl would stop keeping me
in the loop.
