Looks like I missed these. I've spoken with Artyom about this off-list
and we're both willing to help out with sun4m/sun4u - I'll update the
patch to add ourselves, remove Blue and resubmit.

Sadly I can't help with TCG SPARC target as I don't own any SPARC
hardware (ironically the reason I started using QEMU in the first place..).

Outside of SPARC, I don't feel that it's my role to remove Blue from the
other areas of MAINTAINERS; perhaps that would best come from Peter?
