The update of the Maintainers file is triggered by an ftpsync from
ftp-master, which evidently hasn't been happening. ftpmaster, do we need
to set up new ssh keys or something, or are ftpsyncs just disabled for
the meantime?
In the meantime, I've rsynced the Maintainers file by hand, so you're
now correctly listed as autotrace's maintainer.
