and makes me wonder (note: I am not involved in writing any of the
existing text in this document) how much material foreign to the
actual workflow used for `git.git` should go in here.  Having
multiple maintainers at the same time is not a workflow element that
we have ever used, for example, so I am not sure about the change in
the above paragraph.
We were told to change 'he' into 'they' to be neutral.  However, it's true
that there's one maintainer at a time so we will remove the 's' from
"maintainers". 
Not a native speaker, but according to wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they) it's OK to write
"maintainer [singular, but already neulral] may get merge conflicts when
they [sinugular they] ..."
