[Sugar-devel] Eliminate Glucose co-maintainers

[Martin Dengler]

I propose we eliminate "co-maintainers" from Glucose[1] because they
reduce the responsibility and pressure of a sole maintainer.

Recall that the role of maintainer is:

a) accept features [2]
b) accept patches [3]
c) make releases [4]

Having more than one person making these decisions risks reducing the
responsibility of the sole maintainer to maintain a quality release.
Essentially, it's too easy to leave maintainer work if you think
someone else could be helping you.

Thoughts?

Martin
