Description

Automatically add the MAINTAINERS.md file from data in packager file
This would make adding a new packager more automated and easier.

David Notes:

  • Would probably need two operations
    • maintain-add to add yourself to the existing MAINTAINERS file, below any existing entry
    • maintain-new to replace the existing file with one containing only your own info

Research direction

Start by locating the packager file and the existing MAINTAINERS.md file, then inspect how go-task new operations are defined. Clarify how packager metadata maps to maintainer entries and how the proposed maintain-add and maintain-new operations should behave. Done means both operations generate the expected MAINTAINERS.md content without manual editing.
