The Gentoo Dev that's committing the work isn't a maintainer, in relation to the package. S/he is a committer. So...: Gentoo Dev doing the commit: Proxy Committer (or just Proxy) Person doing the work: Maintainer-By-Proxy. Sure, the dev may do a bit of maintenance or cleanup before committing, but the bulk of the work is done by the maintainer-by-proxy. However, we can clear up a lot of confusion if we just change our terms slightly to more strongly indicate the dev's relationship to a package. And, "proxied" is a word, but it does not mean what we need it to mean. We could make it mean what we want it to mean, but I think that's kind of mean. You know what I mean? -- Mr. Aaron W.
