We got extensive feedback regarding the `Master` title. Renaming it to `Maintainer` is a relatively cheap thing to do, strengthened by the fact that it's a better reflection of the permission level: this is what Maintainers of repos will typically have.

IMO Master makes sense. The Master user is in full control, there is no one higher than the master.

In GitLab the owner can do more than the master/maintainer.

Ah fair enough. The change makes sense then.

Not really, maintainer is a more vague term implying any level of access and authority. Plus its more letters to type out forever over and over because someone theoretically was crying over this.
