Both files were written by Paul Jarc, and originally added as part of Gnus.
copyright.list contains an entry:
GNUS Paul Jarc 2001-10-02
Disclaims changes (changed message.el, added nnmaildir.el)
so nnmaildir seems clear.
nnnil is almost a trivial file IMO. In any case, it would seem his
above disclaimer covers it, yes?
He also has an assignment for Emacs on file, but I guess since these
files were added to Gnus first, they are disclaimed rather than assigned.
