This is helpful!

Had mentioned it in a gist in the partner projects structure:

Expectations from maintainers

2. Look through proposal requests and assign issues to contributors
3. Utilise the prep-phase to provide support to contributors, which could include:
   • Providing an onboarding to the project.
   • Helping to understand the codebase
   • Resolving queries
4. Provide a forum to have discussions on general project queries.(issue specific can be done on issue discussions).
   • Preferably GitHub discussions can be used.
   • FOSS Hack Telegram group could also be used to make announcements about discussion calls if any etc.
5. Review PRs and merge them if significant to the project.
   • The maintainers are allowed to suggest changes to the PR after submission to make them more efficient

Will mention here too.
