I'm adding the new "maintainers" list, but for now keep the "info" list too as non-maintainer users might want to chime in here.

I would question if we need to go back even that far. Isn't it good enough to support the current version of emacs, i.e. 29 right now, for any new versions of VM. I live mostly in the Fedora world, but I understand both Debian 11 and Ubuntu 20.04 are old. Would the packager for those distributions really update VM? Without emacs itself being updated? That is not how I package for Fedora; the latest and/or upcoming release gets the latest VM, older stay where they are unless something actually breaks. If someone is using a distribution with an older emacs, then it would make sense you use an older version of VM too. (At least as far as new developments are concerned. If we would find e.g. a security issue in VM, that would be another thing.) Would this be too agressive? My goal is to keep the load on developers as light as possible, in order to maximize the chance things get done.
