git will not forget that you have done the changes. :)
So anyone who has a problem only needs to do a "git blame" to see who
has done it and the user will get your name and email to contact you.
If that is the only reason you think your name is added as a
maintainer then I guess that is not a valid concern and then in that
case I am not seeing any need to add your name in maintainer.

Bartlomiej can you advise please.
