That file is too young to be out of date, and like I said, I've found
the help useful Mark, so I wouldn't throw your hands up. That file
should probably be updated/refreshed as people want, the idea behind
it was to build a table of experts or people who voluntarily sign up
to be the more active maintainers for a domain or standard library
module.

I maintain the idea is a good one - even if Martin wants off due to
lack of time, it's important for people who are just coming in, such
as Mark, to have some idea of where or *who* to talk to about
something specific. We can obviously see the frightening number of
gaps we have for "specific" maintainers.
