Very few people end up being listed as a gnulib module maintainer
if they are not also an author (aka patch contributor).

To determine "authorship", you must look at the commit logs:

    $ git log --pretty=format:%aN lib/getgroups.c|sort |uniq -c
          2 Bruno Haible
          9 Eric Blake
          9 Jim Meyering
          7 Paul Eggert

This suggests that you need to update most of your lists.
