This would mean we changed from a policy that we successful
applied for over a decade to a policy of which we - to the best
of my knowledge - know that it does not work well.

I was under the impression that this - luckily - already was
written policy.

While a cleanup is of course ok, please note that there MAINTAINERS
who are willing to maintain but had no reason to do so for longer than
six months.
