Sections marked as Orphan generally
don't also have a named maintainer.

Should Kent still be listed here?

Thanks for the remark. I'd leave this up to Jens, as apparently at the end
of the day he's the one relaying stability bugfixes upstream; so it might
actually make sense to have him listed there eventually (while keeping the
Orphan status).

Let's leave the entry. Kent is still around, it's just not actively being maintained.
