So essentially you're agreeing that the way -maintainers was handled/set 
up by the old FESCo was wrong.  Which is basically what the current 
FESCo decided.  We can go on for days discussing various ways to fix it, 
but we decided that since it was broken, removing the broken bit was the 
best course of action for now since it provided a disservice to many 
people as evidenced by the complaints on the various lists about it by 
the very people who IMO we were trying to target.  If you have a better 
solution for lists to actually serve the needs of the community, please 
propose it to FESCo.
