IMHO this is a policy question and IMHO Ivan is right.
Currently i use the MAINTAINERS file as a list on who has cvs write
access and whos patches i dont need to check as deeply as others. So if
we get people without cvs write access into MAINTAINERS we (ok, i) will
need another list with people who have cvs write access.

So, to sumarise this: IMHO only people with cvs write access should be
listed in MAINTAINERS. IMHO people like Reynaldo whould be given cvs
write access if they are willing to maintain a part of MPlayers code
base.

What do the others think ?
