Authors@R only allows one maintainer. We encourage good coding practice to manage changes from multiple contributors on a repo through pull requests (PR) managed by the maintainer and the maintainer push changes to the Bioconductor location.
If multiple push access directly to Bioconductor is required, we can assist with this. A request by the current maintainter to add access is reuqired. We would need to create BiocCredential account for additional maintainers; we would either need the email associated with and existing BiocCredentials account or the email/github id information for new users to create one.

Is it possible to have multiple maintainers and if so, how should that be done? At the moment I'm just applying the "cre" role to both authors.
