My intention was simply to allow (and encourage) maintainers
to explain their way of working and to allow users to get this
information easily.

Duplicating information is not necessary of course, but it does not harm
in a wiki as long as it is easy to keep the information up to date.
Adding links for every maintainer on the Feature page would help.
Comments and git tree could be moved to the personal page of every
maintainer.

I have no special preference how the maintainers should be listed in the 
wiki,
but I think they should be listed there (not only in MAINTAINERS) 
because that
allows links. I just merged the existing list of developers and the 
maintainer
list (http://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/StartHere#Developers_and_Maintainers).
Do you think that's a better and possible solution?
