+1 to moving maintainers.rst to the devguide, a wiki page (I’m volunteering to monitor that page for vandalism), or make it somehow part of the bug tracker. Let’s also take the opportunity to rename it to “experts”, following R. David Murray: “Any module without a listed maintainer is maintained by the community as a whole [...] I think perhaps the name chosen for the file was unfortunate. I view it more as the 'experts' file, rather than the maintainers file, though in some cases the expert is indeed the principle maintainer of the module (such as Vinay for logging).” Bonus question: if we remove maintainers.rst from py3k, what do we do in 3.1 and 2.7? I’d favor removing them over keeping outdated versions.
