Committer: the people with commit access to EdgeX repositories. It is a committer's prime responsibility to review, comment on, co-ordinate, accept and merge additions and patches from contributors and to maintain the design cohesion of the project components. Committers are members of the EdgeX community who feel responsibility over the direction of the project and are committed to improving it. Committers hold technical leadership within the EdgeX community and are typically people who have greatly contributed to the project and are considered reliable and responsible enough to be allowed to commit directly to all or some parts of the project.
Maintainer: Maintainers originally create the EdgeX repository and have access rights to perform administrative functions, archive or even delete the repository. Often, a member of the Linux Foundation, maintainers are also committers in EdgeX by default, but typically do not participate in review or commits to the project except in performing administrative duties or to repair a repository issue.
