Why delete *our* correctly named MAINTAINERS?  Tomorrow GH or GL could
decide that "pwning" something bears unnecessary and potentially offending

They want CODEOWNERS now?  Fine, all it takes is a simple script to parse
MAINTAINERS and generate CODEOWNERS file they want.  Once/if this changes,
we'd easily adapt.
