Are these aliases still relevant? IIRC, they were mainly used as a default owner for packages in debbugs. When we switched over to bugzilla, we started using -maint aliases on bugzilla.gnome.org instead (which require editing of a file in the halloween module ...). Are any projects actually making use of the other -maint aliases?

I find it extremely useful and convenient to have a MAINTAINERS file in
every module. Do we have another 'official' place to look up the
maintainer of a CVS module?
I think the MAINTAINERS files are useful. I was commenting on the aliases generated from them.
