I think a bundle should only have one maintainer. True in practice

50% chance he will actually write the one responsible for the
thing he writes about.
Comments on this one? We could always make it an array, so we at
least have the option, but lets keep the name of the key in
singular form.
I'm kindof torn on this one.
Like the prototype javascript bundle.
I'm the maintainer of the syntaxes, but Harald Martin Ström is the
snippet maintainer.
I don't think there is an official maintainer for Javascript.
Experimental is also not really maintained.
Yeah, i think a single maintainer would work, if people fight about
who want to handle all the support for the bundle, we can set the
maintainer to Allan until they get over it. ;)
Would it perhaps make sense, if possible, to have aliases for those
addresses, and then emailing those aliases would result in the email
going to all people registered as maintainers? For example, emailing
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would get this email sent to
both Thomas and Harald, and perhaps even archive it somewhere, and
even send an automatic reply to the user that his email has been
forwarded to the appropriate people? And add his request to a trac
system or something? And...
This way even if the maintainers change, the address stays the same.
Not sure how feasible this is though.
