The first line of the MAINTAINERS file are:
"
The intention of this file is to provide a set of names that we can rely on
for helping in patch reviews and questions.
"
Unfortunately, some maintainers do not endorse their role for questions
asked on the mailing list.
Hope making it clear in the contribution guide will enforce more
responsive maintainer participation.
