If you look at baea7b946f00a291b166ccae7fcfed6c01530cc6, you see:

    Merge branch 'origin' into for-linus

    Conflicts:
        MAINTAINERS

Git was unable to automatically merge that file, as there were
conflicting changes. That merge was done by Russel King, and _he_
decided that the result should include the "(moderated for ...)" part.
