I have no desire to poo-poo your contributions, but with 30 commits over a 2 year period and very sporadic engagement on the issue tracker, "contributor" seems completely fair but "maintainer" seems a bit much.
Maintainers are the people who are involved reasonably consistently for the long term, and also do the un-sexy work of tracking down the (sometimes difficult) bugs people report, triage the (unclear) issues people report, deal with generic support requests, and all of that.
True, there are definitely better and more consistent developers than me on the project. However, that's the term the gitea project uses. I should've linked to the maintainers list: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/main/MAINTAINERS
