Hi Charles,
We want just one person in the 'Maintainer' field in DESCRIPTION so there is a
single point of contact.
You can give multiple people commit access to the package on the
git.bioconductor.org server. To do this, write this list (bioc-devel) and
provide the emails and github usernames of the persons to add. Alternatively
you could add these other people as collaborators on your github account - this
would allow multiple active developers but restrict one person pushing to the
git.bioconductor.org server.

Hi,
Somebody asked if they could be added as a maintainer for a Bioconductor
package. Is it possible to have more than one maintainer for a package?
My understanding was that packages were typically maintained by one person, but
I wanted to double-check. Otherwise, I see that I can add multiple authors
(with e-mail addresses), which might be OK in this case.
Thanks,
Charles
