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.
