Maintainers typically use the +applications and versions they maintain on a daily or weekely basis and test them with each new version of Wine that is +released. They also respond to forum posts for their applications/versions and review and process testing results and +screenshots that users submit. Please see the <a href="./?sTopic=maintainer_guidelines" style="cursor: help">maintainer's guidelines</a> +for more information on the kinds of things a maintainer has stewardship over. +<p> +Maintainers are crucial to the usefulness of the AppDB as they ensure that information is kept up-to-date. With the large +number of applications and versions present in the AppDB today it would be a difficult task for the small number of AppDB +admins to try to perform this task. +<p> +See the AppDB <a href="./?sTopic=appdb_faq" style="cursor: help">FAQ</a> for the difference between a maintainer and a super +maintainer.
