+<h3>Maintainers</h3>
+
+<p>
+Information on what a maintainer is and why they are important to the appdb.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Maintainers are privileged users who have the ability to administrate applications and versions. Maintainers typically use the 
+applications and versions they maintain on a daily or weekely basis and test them with each new version of Wine that is 
+released. They also respond to forum posts for their applications/versions and review and process testing results and 
+screenshots that users submit. Please see the <a href="./?sTopic=maintainer_guidelines" style="cursor: help">maintainer's guidelines</a>
+for more information on the kinds of things a maintainer has stewardship over.
+<p>
+Maintainers are crucial to the usefulness of the AppDB as they ensure that information is kept up-to-date. With the large 
+number of applications and versions present in the AppDB today it would be a difficult task for the small number of AppDB 
+admins to try to perform this task.
+<p>
+See the AppDB <a href="./?sTopic=appdb_faq" style="cursor: help">FAQ</a> for the difference between a maintainer and a super 
+maintainer.
