I do see such an indication (of a name appearing as a 
'maintainer') of a sub-part.  But MikaelFridh has not touched 
it in months, and seemingly lacks an enabled 'mailto' as no 
envelope appears next to his EditName [ ;) ]. He was added to 
the top for edit rights, did a couple changes, and then 
seemingly abandoned the 'Maintainer' role.  I will remove the 
sub-section 'Maintainer' indication on that section next time 
I am in that page, absent him picking up the torch again.


The revision history for a given page is under the 'info'
button on every wiki page, and perhaps gives a better picture
perhaps of who are tending a given page.


REQUEST: As to the matter of adding edit rights after a 
request here, I would ask that the person asking, affirm that 
they are 'reachible' through the wiki mecahnism, and have set 
up their account with the 'userprefs':
     "Publish my email (not my wiki homepage) in author info"
clicked on, such that this envelope would appear in the 'Info' 
log.

I don't see that we presently have a wiki page describing the 
process of requesting edit rights for persons newly coming and 
seeking such [my 'wiki search foo' may be weak].
          http://wiki.centos.org/HowToContribute/EditingCentOSWiki
is close, but not exactly right

I would add the language I suggested there, or at:
 	http://wiki.centos.org/EditGroup

Thoughts?
