I agree with you on this point: probably admins (and tutors) are the
most suitable figures to be part of the maintainers table. According
to what you are saying, I think that the main contribution from
editors in the maintainers table could be in this sense: spam,
registered accounts, general difficulties and so on. This part of our
general organization will be extremely powerful (and needed), since it
allows us to keep every aspect of our work monitored and up-to-date.

In my opinion we should start defining roles in a more precise way.
Now we have more experienced editors who help new users, do contents
review but we do not have well defined roles. The use of badges, a
re-organization of communication channels and a page on meta where
admins and tutors are listed could be a good starting point.

PS: This draft may create some problem of interpretation to some
users. I would suggest to take a look to this
http://meta.wikitolearn.org/Community_organization , where we do
define the internal organization for editors: everything is clear and
every role is well defined; no doubt can emerge. Maybe this draft
proposal can be made more clear for everyone following the one linked
above.

Bye,
Matteo
