Will give that a shot.

Indeed, I just didn't expect random developer to know how to fix this,
and if other git trees will exist in the same form I figured its best
to extend MAINTAINERS to specify the preference for a branch. In this
case, since the branch is not recommended for development, I suppose
the recommendation no longer applies for this tree.
