Hello,
I think we some time ago came to the conclusion that the one who actually takes care of the package _now_ is the Maintainer, and everyone who formerly maintained the package is a contributor.
A Package Maintainer, in the context of Arch Linux, is either one of the following: *A core Arch Linux developer who maintains software packages in the official repositories (core, extra, or testing). *A Trusted User of the community who maintains software packages in the unsupported/unofficial community repository. A Contributor is a non-TU who maintain packages in AUR
IMHO exactly this are the meanings of the words "maintainer" and "contributor". But I may be completely wrong.
