Welcome to the maintainers guide! Maintainers are typically individuals who have a stake in building up and maintaining our digital configuration commons, the recipe configurations. Maintainers help keep recipes configurations up to date, respond to issues in a timely manner, help new users within the community and recruit new maintainers when possible.
