Hi,

there's a quite old bug[1] about getting MAINTAINER files in a state
that we can have per-spell maintainer declarations again.
The basic idea is that we would have a hierarchy of MAINTAINER files,
looked up like this:
- if there's a MAINTAINER file in $grimoire/$section/$spell, use that
- otherwise, use $grimoire/$section/MAINTAINER if it exists
- use $grimoire/MAINTAINER

The file itself would just have a list of developers who maintain that
grimoire/section/spell, with one developer per line in the format
"full name <the.mail AT domain.org>"

We currently have a few MAINTAINER files, like in the mail section, that
include spell names + maintainers. The advantage of the above scheme is
that it can be looked up automatically very easily.

If no one has major objections, I'd like to get that format standardized
(and implemented in gaze maintainer).
