README.md

maintainers.txt

Parses maintainers.txt files in eLife Github repositories, printing a simple report of what is maintained by whom.

If any repository has no maintainers, the script will exit with a failure.

Accepts an optional input file mapping a maintainer => alias. This will replace the name of the maintainer output with something else (like an email address).

If an alias map was given and any repository has a maintainer not present in the map, the script will exit with a failure.
