Something about that headline really irks me. I think GitHub is an amazing place for people to share code, I also think it’s really nice of them to do this.

But the maintainers aren’t “their” maintainers. They are maintainers using GitHub for their projects.

Probably just me overreacting, just thought I’d mention it.

They're referring to maintainers of projects that GitHub relies on for their own work, so calling them "our maintainers" isn't much of a linguistic stretch.

I believe they are maintainers of the dependencies that GitHub uses.
