I wasn't sure how people would necessarily feel about having get_maintainer produce the string 'maintainer' for both Maintained and Supported but, IMO it is more consistent to have it do so, since we refer to maintainers all throughout the doucmentation and as you say above Rafael is the person you *need* to mail there because he's the maintainer. Lets consider - maintainer as a string for "S: Supported" - Documentation update to reflect Krzysztof's point on git-fallback --- bod
