Subject: get_maintainer: stop reporting subsystem status as maintainer role
Date: Mon, 03 Feb 2025 12:13:17 +0100

After introducing the --substatus option, we can stop adjusting the
reported maintainer role by the subsystem's status.

For compatibility with the --git-chief-penguins option, keep the "chief
penguin" role.
