Hi,

Thanks for raising this issue. I doubt this was an intentional practice.

I've moved all the accounts that had the "Developer" role to the 
"Maintainer" one.

Cheers,

So you give all the person more rights in the repo.

In Salsa the role Maintainer has more rights then the role Developer

There were some where I used lower rights, when someone was very new,
(typically time limited too).

But yeah +1

Indeed.

As I said, I doubt the few accounts that were under "Developer" were 
chosen for a reason. At least on my side, I've been adding people with 
that role since I've been granted the Owner role and didn't really think 
much of it.

The criterias to join the DPT are not very strict and I think it would 
be pretty arbitrary not to give everyone the same role based on some 
perceptions or feelings.
