Congratulations!

Please remove your name from Write After Approval:

$ make check -k RUNTESTFLAGS="maintainers.exp"
...
Running /home/marxin/Programming/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.src/maintainers.exp ...
Redundant in write approval: Maciej W. Rozycki
FAIL: maintainers-verify.sh

Cheers,
Martin

 Hmm, that seems like useless policy to me; the "Write After Approval" 
section used to be an exhaustive, alphabetically sorted list of people 
with commit rights, and it still is with our sister projects binutils and 
GDB.  By removing entries for people listed elsewhere (which may be across 
several places anyway) you require one to look for information scattered 
around the file.  And contributors to remember adding themselves back as 
they step down from maintainer posts.

 Besides, my e-mail addresses listed are different in the two sections, 
and that's been deliberate.  Also what about people carrying identical 
full names?  I insist on using my middle initial for a reason.

 It seems like there's been hardly any discussion about this matter around 
the time this stuff was added with commit bddcac9d1c32 ("[contrib] Add 
contrib/maintainers-verify.sh").  What was the actual motivation behind 
that change?

That was only addition of a script and testcase to verify what has been done
in MAINTAINERS since forever.
Just look at all the commits to remove redundant entries from Write After
Approval, e.g.
https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2003-05/msg00366.html
All maintainers or reviewers (global or specific) have write after approval
rights for areas they don't maintain.

I went ahead and fixed Maciej's entries in the obvious way.
