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] ..." -- Matthieu Moy https://matthieu-moy.fr/
