Maintainer roles are never "no one else can touch my portions of the
tree".  This specific cleanup patch was sent on December 19, and then
due to no response, I applied it to my tree on January 4, a little over
2 week.

For a cleanup patch, that didn't add a new feature or do anything really
"serious", 2 weeks with no response makes me assume that no one objects
to it so I'll just sweep it up with the rest of those types of patches
and add them to my tree, especially as the merge window is about to
close for new stuff like this.

Nothing special, this is how normal tree-wide changes happen all the
time, especially for "trivial" stuff like this.
