This rename is motivated by a desire to begin a manual / guide for maintainers of community packages in ROS 2 distributions.
The current title is overly broad, as the guide content is targeted at ROS 2 core package maintainers rather than a maintainer of any package released in ROS 2.
Renaming and redirecting articles has a cost and I know this rename isn't free. But I think it's justified in order to provide space for content aimed at community maintainers.
There's an additional commit on here of edits I made to the doc while squaring it up with its new title. Even if we don't take the rename some of those edits are worth keeping in a dedicated PR.
Most of the changes there are clarifying whether an operation is per-repository or per-package. I've gone through and updated the documentation to use "package" or "repository" when correct in context. In a couple of cases, I removed the specification entirely (particularly in front of the word "maintainer").
