title: How to know who is the maintainer of a GitHub repository?
body: <p>Is there a way to know which people have merge privileges on a public GitHub repository. If the owner is a user and not an organization, then  at least I know one maintainer, but it's possible that there are other users with merge rights. Also, if the owner is an organization it is possible, that not all members of the organization have merge rights. So is there a way to find the exact maintainers?</p>
