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?
