I see I need to be more verbose.
I made two proposals:
1) Allow writing "Authors" instead of "Author" and "Maintainers" instead
of "Maintainer". Everyone else in this thread thinks we shouldn't do
that and I don't care enough to argue about it.
2) Some packages are being maintained by multiple people and those
people are not members of some group or organization that could be
used as a short-hand. All of those people should be listed because
they all do important work. Emacs has a function whose purpose is to
return the maintainer. It is called lm-maintainer. It returns just
one maintainer, "the" maintainer. Even if the package has multiple
maintainers and they are all listed. I propose that we accept the
fact that some packages have multiple maintainers, and that we do
that by adding a new function named lm-maintainers, which returns a
list of maintainers. If there is only one maintainer, it returns a
list of length one. There is already a function called lm-authors.
Lets do the same for maintainers.
I have given up on (1) and would still like to do (2).
Jonas
