From 11dc5227e9bdfc9645b118533fb94badde966246 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Leach Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 15:10:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] maintainers: Clarify area status definitions Clarify the area status definitions for maintained and odd fixes. Primary change is to acknowledge that a "maintained" area may not have a Maintainer but can have active collaborators that support it. The "odd fixes" status has general support from the community and the level of effort is not great enough to consider requiring official Maintainer/Collaborators.
