Adding list of maintainers into the README?

[ghost]

Dear team,

I probably might have simply overlooked it -- I saw the names of the companies / entities who pledged to maintain w3id.org, but not the GitHub usernames of those of you who are official maintainers of this repo.

Is there a way to find out who is currently allowed to merge Pull Requests? If not, would you be interested in adding this info to the README?

Looking forward to a short discussion if needed -- all the best and thanks for maintaining this! (Obviously this would also give you credit for the important work you do :)

Best,
Robert

Is there a specific reason, like service oversight, or are you just curious?

It's mostly been me and @dgarijo doing everyday merging, with the occasional guest appearance by @msporny. I think a few other people did some early merges. The PR history is long but you could probably extract who has done merging into master with some git log magic. I forget who else is on the list, and I don't have admin access to check.

Hi @davidlehn, yes, a little like "service oversight" -- concretely, I wrote a comparison of w3id.org, purl.org, and The Handle System, and thus had to elucidate the "mechanics" of getting a PURL with each service.

For w3id.org one ultimately depends on the maintainers accepting the Pull Requests, and I couldn't answer to my colleagues how big the pool of maintainers actually was as of right now (but I could answer how incredibly fast you are by looking at the closed Pull Requests! 👍 )

Do I ask now who has admin access then? 🙈 😜

@robertgiessmann maintainers are @davidlehn and I.
I do not have admin access (I volunteered to help after w3id.org had been set up), but my guess is that the partners who support the initiative (
Digital Bazaar
3 Round Stones
OpenLink Software
Applied Testing and Technology
Openspring
Bosatsu Consulting
SURROUND Australia) all have some sort of access.
