The sheepdog mailing list is setup to stop and queue messages from
non-subscribers, pending moderator approval. Unfortunately it seems
that the moderation queue is not actively dealt with. Even when messages
are approved, the sender is never added to the whitelist, so every
future mail the same sender continues to get stopped for moderation.

MAINTAINERS entries should be responsive and not uneccessarily block
mails from QEMU contributors, so drop the sheepdog mailing list.

Perhaps the sheepdog list would like to know what we are doing, along 
with a heads up that their list policy is unfriendly.  But I can't be 
the one to tell them - if I were to add the sheepdog list in cc, I'd get 
moderated.

It's annoyed me enough times that I agree with the change.

I copied the other listed sheepdog maintainers on this patch so that they
would get the heads up & opportunity to object and / or talk to the list
admins to address it if desired.  We should give them a few days to
respond here before queue'ing this at least.

Paolo, I think this is a patch for your misc patches queue.

It looks to me than this is more block/trivial than the busy misc queue.
