Change the "Join Documentation Team" component

[John Noceda]

Since everyone are now members of the documentation team J, what do you guys
think of changing the component "Join Documentation Team" to "Handbook
Maintainer Application" or something to that effect? The word "maintainer"
connotes responsibility. Users who doesn't know that they can edit pages
already or just want to post images to their own posts may have second
thoughts on applying to be a maintainer of the handbooks. Then hopefully we
only get issues where they really want to take the responsibility of
maintaining the handbooks.

The word “maintainer” connotes responsibility. Users who doesn’t
know that they can edit pages already or just want to post images to
their own posts may have second thoughts on applying to be a
maintainer of the handbooks. Then hopefully we only get issues where
they really want to take the responsibility of maintaining the
handbooks.

Yep, good call. I guess the question is how we want to refer to the
higher-responsibility role. I had orginally tossed out Documentation
admins because maintainer didn't sound as "different." Everyone making
edits is "maintaining" while administrators, well do more
administrivia stuff. :-) Thoughts? Any other ideas to toss in the ring?

The word "application" makes me think of software.

Hm, well everyone on d.o can be an "editor." While some of us may
think of a newspaper editor with higher power, the straight English
usage is simply someone who edits, which is everyone. I'd like
something that indicates a more managerial aspect.

Why not just "documentatoin admin"? I think it's simple and
straight-forward.
