What Does a "Maintainer" Do? - Artim - 09-17-2017
Earlier before 3.6 came out, there was talk of systemback disappearing from Linux Lite "for lack of a maintainer." What exactly is a maintainer and what does he or she do? Could non-technical boy like me do that? I can't write code or anything like that, but "maintaining" just sounds like "keeping it around and updated."
Sorry for the rookie question, just wondering if there's a new way I can contribute.
