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.
