Whats the reason to have a maintainers group on GitHub?

Reason/Context

We have an AsyncAPI Maintainers group here on GitHub, but why?

Description

As each repository have specific code owners that are the maintainers of that repository. Any changes should go through the same contribution guideline as every other contributor: https://github.com/asyncapi/.github/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md. Regardless of whether you work for a company that allows you to work on AsyncAPI full-time or if you do it in your spare time.

This includes but is not limited to permissions such as being able to push changes.

I have a feeling we have it "for now" until some x tasks have been solved, but I could not find any related issues about it.

cc @derberg is this something you can clarify? Any larger issue where this is tracked?

this is legacy stuff, will be cleaned up once I merge #171

What Maintainers group? 😆

It is removed now. There are now only 2 groups:

• 1 secret with bots
• 1 public with TSC members so we use it to ping folks to join discussions

Regarding maintenance of specific repo, folks are invited there individually.

I assume we can close it. Feel free to reopen if I'm wrong
