I feel that each new maintainer bumps into the same set of problems.

- why can I run "mgar package" once but not twice?
- when do I use spotless, platforms, replatforms, platforms-re{merge,package}?
- I added overrides, but they aren't picked up, what's wrong?
- I keep getting the "uncommitted" error, what am I doing wrong?

It happens over and over again.
