Hi everyone, I made the intended changes to the Software Carpentry GitHub organization's teams [1] this morning. Maintainers have been added to small teams with specific access to the repos they maintain. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of unnecessary email going out to people from GitHub. If you're currently receiving more GitHub email than you'd like you may find our blog post on managing GitHub notifications useful: http://software-carpentry.org/blog/2015/02/managing-github-notifications-2015-02-19.html .
If you find anything amiss after this reshuffle please don't hesitate to let me know.
