Yes, only one maintainer is allowed on the DESCRIPTION file.
There are no co-maintainers. There can be co-authors.

Thank you. I have one last question: Could we make Kai a co-maintainer,
rather than replacing me? Sorry for the mix-up, I was under the impression
that only one maintainer was allowed.
Thanks again,
Raymond

Hi,
I've added Kai to the package and he has access now.
Kai now has a BiocCredentials account which needs to be activated. Once
activated, he needs to add SSH keys to gain access to the package.

Best,

Hello,
Could we please change the maintainer of the chipenrich and
chipenrich.data
packages to Kai Wang (wangdaha at umich.edu)? I have instructed the new
maintainer to setup an account at https://support.bioconductor.org/,
and
I'll change the DESCRIPTION files shortly. Are there any other steps?
FWIW, at this page
https://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git/change-maintainer/
there is
a reference to maintainer at bioconductor.org. This was the first
addressed I
tried, but got various bounce backs. Perhaps the change maintainer page
should be updated?
Thanks,
Raymond Cavalcante
