We used to have one for the CREDITS (I think jam - John A Martin) file but
the maintenance overhead is so small that having a maintainer for it ends
up being more of a hassle than just not having one at all, and doing it on
a case-by-case basis.

If somebody who maintains some other thing _anyway_ were to keep track of
the MAINTAINERS file (the trivial people comes to mind), that might be
worth it, but in general I suspect it's not a big deal.
