Is lack of a Maintainers file _really_ our problem?

IMO, our current issue is what I would term "Drive-by Commits" (for
example, the past two weekends have seen commits that have introduced
major breakage of some sort where the committer has not been about for
some fairly significant period of time.

I don't think listing a name in a Maintainers file is going to change
anything, frankly.
