Should we have a maintainer for the file, too? (I guess not, because
deprecation patches should go through the specific subsystems...)
I don't think adding a maintainer makes sense for this file.
And what about a "S:" line?
I don't think that makes too much sense, either.
If anything, qemu-deprecated.texi should be in a category 'maintained
by everybody', i.e. qemu-devel. Just like qemu-doc.texi, which does not
have an entry in MAINTAINERS at all.
