The page DebianMaintainers is referenced from www.debian.org:
devel/join/newmaint.wml
devel/join/index.wml
devel/debian-volatile/index.wml
intro/organization.data
vote/2009/platforms/zack.wml
whereas Maintainers isn't linked from www.debian.org
I have fixed, sent email and filed bugs so external links to the
"Maintainers" page are updated.

I'll preserve the page (turning it in a kind of disambiguation page).
Suggestions are welcome.
