I'm not quite sure what the complaint is here.

AFAIK, "Maintainer:  FSF" is just used when there isn't a clear
individual maintainer.  Lots of source files seem to have a non-FSF
maintainer line anyway...

The copyright line reflects the copyright holder, so of course that says
FSF.  If someone wants credit, but isn't currently the maintainer, they
can put in an "Author: ..."  comment (which lots of source files have).
