In case you are not familiar with the role, maintainers are the people who keep a package or sub-package working.
In particular, they review and merge PRs, keep track of what's going on and organize ideas for future development (see
https://www.astropy.org/team.html#Subpackage_maintainer for details).
In practice this means a fair amount of community interaction when reviewing PRs and related discussion. As a general guideline, if you have any uncertainty or if there is extended debate about merging a PR, seek consensus from other maintainers in the Project. If necessary, you should also
feel free to reach out to the Coordination Committee (by @-mention on github or via
[email protected]), as the Coordination Committee has the authority to make decisions when consensus cannot be achieved.
