I agree this is important to keep somewhere. But I am unsure if
Maintainers.txt is the location for that. Clearly it was when
ShellBinPkg existed, but I am not sure now.

And yes, this is something I should have realised when ShellBinPkg was
removed - but I didn't at that point. So there is no need to hold
back this patch.

But I think it would make possibly more sense to add this information
either into a ShellPkg/Readme.md or the wiki. If we keep the
information in Maintainers.txt, I would suggest creating a new
section below "EDK II Releases:" with a W: entry pointing somewhere.

Best Regards,
