	Implementing the 4th list of "maintainers" that you talk about would  
be sweet, as there indeed seems to be problems building the "Assign  
To" menu out of committers (for instance, Landon is a committer and  
doesn't appear in it -- could that be because lazy Landon hasn't  
logged in yet...? ;-). Also there are many maintainers who are not  
committers, so as things stand we're definitely leaving out an  
important part of the people that need to be on that menu.

	I think it's wise to give ticket modify perms to all maintainers, but  
maybe not to all those with Trac accounts (as discussed in ticket  
#10900). Is  this possible with Rayn's script in #13673?

	Regards,....
