When a job fails, someone has to take care of it. As we can
not wait indefinitively of volunteers good will, introduce the
concept of "job maintainers". A job maintainer is reponsible
of keeping it working, or contact the developers having broken
it to fix it.
When a job is added, it must have a maintainer. A job without
maintainer is not run automatically. It can however be run
manually from the WebUI.
To declare a maintainer, it is as easy as defining the
JOB_MAINTAINER_NAME / JOB_MAINTAINER_EMAIL environment variables.

Ideally the runner will notify the maintainer by mail that
a job fails. But we are not quite there yet.
It would be nice if someone document this properly.
