Maintainers should have accounts on Discourse and receive some subset of notifications.
This must include direct mentions on posts and replies to posts made. Note that this is the default notification setting on Discourse:
It is recommended that maintainers include notifications on first posts in categories of interest, done by navigating to the topic, clicking the “bell” icon next to the New Topic button, and selecting “Watching First Post”.
