PATCH 1/1 block: drop moderated sheepdog mailing list from MAINTAINERS file

The sheepdog mailing list is setup to stop and queue messages from non-subscribers, pending moderator approval. Unfortunately it seems that the moderation queue is not actively dealt with. Even when messages are approved, the sender is never added to the whitelist, so every future mail the same sender continues to get stopped for moderation.

MAINTAINERS entries should be responsive and not uneccessarily block mails from QEMU contributors, so drop the sheepdog mailing list.

Perhaps the sheepdog list would like to know what we are doing, along with a heads up that their list policy is unfriendly. But I can't be the one to tell them - if I were to add the sheepdog list in cc, I'd get moderated.

It's annoyed me enough times that I agree with the change.

I copied the other listed sheepdog maintainers on this patch so that they would get the heads up & opportunity to object and / or talk to the list admins to address it if desired. We should give them a few days to respond here before queue'ing this at least.

Paolo, I think this is a patch for your misc patches queue.

Paolo, I think this is a patch for your misc patches queue.

It looks to me than this is more block/trivial than the busy misc queue.
