A frequent contributor then?

"Maintainer" usually implies some sort of admin rights, e.g. the people merging in the contributions.




We have a list of maintainers, not all of whom can merge, so I apologize for getting this terminology incorrect. I have usually referred to frequent contributors as maintainers interchangeably, but I am glad to have it clarified.

Yes, frequent contributors.
