When you use --maintmaint, dch updates the timestamp, but keeps the 
maintainer's name in the trailer. This may create false impression that 
the maintainer lives in a wildly different timezone than they actually 
do.

That said, I don't use --maintmaint these days, so if nobody else cares, 
feel free to close the bug.
