I think in this case (of maintainers list being shown above the actual list of issues), that that's a developer-centric goal more than a user-centric goal.<br><br>Most people already have all sorts of anxiety about "I'm not as good as that." I think the maintainers list could tend to reinforce the star power of a few people, but that's a whole psychological question.<br>
<br>A note that I'd rather look at the issue queue itself than a maintainers summary to decide whether to use a module.<br><br>Anyhow, strong vote here for the issues links having a higher priority than the list of top maintainers. <br>
<br>The maintainers list is useful! It's good. But why give links that FEW people will click on a higher listing than links that MANY people will click on? It doesn't make sense.<br><br>Margie<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Well, the redesign goal is to get people featured: show that there are<br>
many individuals working on these projects (bug community); show that<br>
they worked recently on the project (or not), and so on. These help<br>
show that Drupal is a community and help users to decide whether a<br>
project is active or not. This will not be the only way which help<br>
people make decisions in module selection, but is part of that.<br>
