In general, you want to check with
git log drivers/net/forcedeth.c
in addition to MAINTAINERS, to see who is actively working on the driver.
In this case, the original authors are largely idle (though still
respond to emails), and NVIDIA has been doing most of the maintenance
for the past year or more.
MAINTAINERS certainly wants fixing though, if it doesn't reflect the
current situation.
