Being the Emacs maintainer (or a comaintainer) is a different job from
developing Emacs (although normally the maintainer also participates
in development).  The maintainer is in charge of Emacs development on
behalf of the GNU Project.  The maintainer's job is to manage the
development, not necessarily to do it.

I think that two maintainers would be ideal, but three could work.
More than that would be difficult as it would be hard for them
to make decisions together.
