From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you think being maintainer makes you some kind of all knowing being? That's not how that works. You write code and review code of others.
If there are multiple maintainers, you may obviously not even notice what another maintainer is doing; then you wouldn't need multiple maintainers with write access if you could handle it all by yourself.
