Forgejo was officially launched yesterday...

Also what's a "frequent maintainer"?

Yes, but the soft fork discussions began a few days after the first blog post.

I have no real description for a "frequent maintainer", so maybe my wording was incorrect there.

I simply meant someone who contributes to the project often, but I don't have a concrete description for you considering "often" could also be subjective.

A frequent contributor then?

"Maintainer" usually implies some sort of admin rights, e.g. the people merging in the contributions.

We have a list of maintainers, not all of whom can merge, so I apologize for getting this terminology incorrect. I have usually referred to frequent contributors as maintainers interchangeably, but I am glad to have it clarified.

Yes, frequent contributors.
