However, what is the benefit to labelling individuals as maintainers of modules in the first place, rather than just having everything be "all"? Was it that Bruno wanted to personally approve changes to "his" modules?
Yes, that was basically it. As I recall, Bruno was the one who felt most strongly about it. It'd be fine with me if we got rid of the Maintainer: section entirely; it'd be one less thing to maintain, at any rate. It'd also be fine with me if we used more automation to merge updates from upstream sources.
