Plugin Maintainer Responsibilities

To improve the load sharing and teamwork, we have a maintainer for every major area. Maintainer's tasks include

• code development and maintenance for API (int/external) changes.
• bug fixing.
• community communication for that particular area:
  • taking care of that all events (emails, tickets, patches) get eventually handled shomehow (commented, assigned, rejected), the last person who answers if nobody else didn't in within a week.
  • keep the status page up to date.
• if the responsible maintainer is not available, he informs the backup person to take over for holiday/real-work period etc.
• Write and maintain plugin page, using template.
• If a plugin is listed in peer feasibility page it might not hurt to keep it up to date.
