Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes I don’t know how to use the new maintainer role. I checked the guides documentation and the blog post. I found one small mention of an Edit button but I manage many gems so I need a more scalable solution.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please document the maintainer role:
- In the blog post, link to documentation added and provide a sample gem command for setting someone as a maintainer.
- In the API guides, document how I can use the Owners APIs to set someone as a maintainer (either modify in-place or add with that permission).
- In the Guides, provide gem commands for setting someone as a maintainer.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Use the UI to update the many gems I maintain with a bot to downgrade the bot to maintainer. Or, poke at the API to reverse engineer it.

Hey @colby-swandale! I hope the launch of the new role system is going well. I would love to use it but do so programmatically via the API or via the gem command. Any way we could have documentation for doing that or an understanding of when it will ship to these platforms? Thanks!

Hey @colby-swandale, checking in again on this user to see if some API documentation could be added. Thanks!

Hello, I apologise for the long delay in responding to this. I will try to get this added when I jump back into Organisation work very soon.
