How do we weed out dead MAINTAINERS entries?
Automated spambot that runs once a release cycle and reports back to
the list which entries were dead?
I don't need more email. Why can't we just send a patch to MAINTAINERS
dropping the line the first time someone actually notices it?

Could make a bot that just watches from: addresses on the list. If it
sees a mail from you within the last release cycle, it assumes you are
still alive.
If it doesn't hear from you for an entire release cycle, it sends out a
small ping and looks for bounces.
Only once a release would be not more than four times a year, and most
active maintainers would never see a single email.
Or, yes, manually when it happens...
