Damnit man, it's historical data. Removing your info from the MAINTAINER
fields is perfectly fine.
We're not going to remove the fact that you fixed things from history. You
don't remove someones name from the history books just because they ask for
it, or they don't like the way the past happened. What you've done was
recorded in a historical archive, if you didn't know that when you started,
then perhaps you shouldn't have started. 
I don't believe your name will be removed from the changelogs or anything
historical. Removing from the MAINTAINER fields is perfectly plausable, and
has already been said that it would be done.
