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 from the same sender continues to get stopped for moderation.

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