I am a bit concerned that people who transfer repos to pytest-dev think that it 
receives magic maintenance because this relevant section in the docs 

http://doc.pytest.org/en/latest/contributing.html#submitting-plugins-to-pytest-dev

is not very explicit about it, even says "sharing some of the maintenance 
responsibility".  I suggest we explicitely say that maintainers are generally 
expected to continue maintaining their plugins.

And how about having a "pytest-dev" user which has release rights on pypi for 
all pytest-dev plugins?  The credentials could be shared in a file in our 
public repo, encrypted to known GPG public keys. Speaking of which, we could 
collect gpg keys of contributors in another file.

lastly, if we had a pure pytest-announce mailing list we could announce new 
pytest-dev plugins (from time to time) and releases there. We can certainly get 
that list on python.org.

best,
holger
