Hi devs
How do I find out who the maintainer for a particular community module is, if I, as a user, wanted to test and contribute to it? Do we make it easy for users to find, I think not.
Perhaps listing the maintainer on the download/installing page would help tremendously? Installing Vector Mosaic Datastore — GeoServer 2.27.x User Manual
If we have a list of maintainers, I don’t mind updating the documentation.

Personally I check the pom.xml file, and if that fails the commit history for the folder. I guess the smart thing to do would be to check the devel history and see who asked to create the module.
Solution:
Browse the GitHub repo (geoserver/src/community at main · geoserver/geoserver · GitHub > module sub directory > History) to see who:
a) made the original commit,
b) has been making changes (other than refactoring/dependency updates).
I would just not call them “maintainers” yet, they have not agreed to any form of maintenance. Module developers would be more correct
Cheers
