Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Problem/Motivation
@Crell noticed in #2128055: Files should be uploaded to per year/month directories by default (#151) that Aaron Winborn is still listed as one of the File system maintainers in MAINTAINERS.txt - Quickly parsing the file shows that he's also listed as the File module maintainer.
Proposed resolution
Discuss the preferred approach. Updating the file or thinking about a way to pay tribute?
Remaining tasks
TBD after the proposed resolution has been agreed upon.

Crell CreditAttribution: Crell as a volunteer commentedAs discussed in #1854480: Remove inactive maintainers from MAINTAINERS.txt, we should be keeping Maintainers.txt for "current people to contact", while adding some new (to be defined) location to list emeritus or retired committers. Since Aaron is not currently contactable (*cries*), we should probably just remove his name from Maintainers.txt and make sure to include it in the emeritus list when that materializes.
