This seems to be the fundamental misunderstanding.  Person: objects have
a maintainer because it was added some time in the past, and not changed
(since nobody stepped forward and said "I want to take over that person:
object and put my maintainer on it").

This has nothing to do whatsoever with maintaining the address space that
happens to reference this person object.

Following this particular chain is just causing work for unrelated people 
- and yes, our consequence to this approach by the RIPE NCC is to remove 
our mnt-by: from person: objects that cause misdirected abuse reports, 
leaving them unmaintained.  Congrats on great incentives for LIRs to 
improve DB quality.
