We used to have one for the CREDITS (I think jam - John A Martin) file but the maintenance overhead is so small that having a maintainer for it ends up being more of a hassle than just not having one at all, and doing it on a case-by-case basis. If somebody who maintains some other thing _anyway_ were to keep track of the MAINTAINERS file (the trivial people comes to mind), that might be worth it, but in general I suspect it's not a big deal.
