A dozen trivial cleanups do not make you maintainer. Otherwise we'd
all be sending our patches to Adrian rather than Linus.

Of course you are the maintainer but you only authored a single patch
which was the original submission in all the time that SLOB was in the
tree. I keep having to clean up the allocator that has--according to
Pekka--more memory requirements than SLUB. There is no point in keeping it
around anymore it seems.
