Very few people end up being listed as a gnulib module maintainer
if they are not also an author (aka patch contributor).
To determine "authorship", you must look at the commit logs:
$ git log --pretty=format:%aN lib/getgroups.c|sort |uniq -c
2 Bruno Haible
9 Eric Blake
9 Jim Meyering
7 Paul Eggert
This suggests that you need to update most of your lists.
