I'd move this to another paragraph, the first one is directed to
contributors, the second one would be to maintainers.

I noticed an extra space at the end of the lines you added, which
resulted in the following errors when applying:

Applying: Maintainers.txt: Add the rule to hand over the package
maintain role
.git/rebase-apply/patch:14: trailing whitespace.
reviewers. If the package maintainer wants to hand over the role to
.git/rebase-apply/patch:15: trailing whitespace.
other people, the package maintainer should send the patch to update
.git/rebase-apply/patch:16: trailing whitespace.
Maintainers.txt with new maintainer, and the new maintainer should
error: patch failed: Maintainers.txt:6

Thanks for adding the maintainership handover clarification, I appreciate :)

With space fixed (same or another paragraphs):

Good observations!

My R-b stands, but if Liming decides to fix up the two warts that you
point out (just before pushing), that is, breaking the new sentence to a
new paragraph, and removing trailing whitespace, my R-b stands in that
case too.

Thanks!
