Example (that I feel is about to happen to me too): a package where
you're listed as Maintainer, you used to be interested in it, now you
are not anymore; you should probably orphan or RFA it, but you still
care a bit about it and you're keeping it very well because you're a
great maintainer nonetheless. I think that if I were forced to remove
my name from it I'd just forget and let it go to waste by discarding
that bit that I cared about.
