Not Stable 0.15 actually.

Yes, intentional.  They are other instances of qemu-devel@ or, for
Gumstix, qemu-arm@.  For some of them it may make sense to give them an
M too, for stable versions we probably should drop them.

It is mentioned.  For gumstix, it says sub-community right after where
you cut it. :) "The fallback now relies on finding a real person in
MAINTAINERS, not just a mailing list for the relevant sub-community".

For others, there's no reason why it should be different from the
catch-all entry.

Not too odd considering they're Orphan. :)  In fact the above entries
could have their L removed too (apart from Gumstix again).
