The maintainer field turns out to be reserved, and not public, and it does not match the output of npm info. Npm does not offer a native way in the package.json to show who the maintainers are, bizarrely. In order to sidestep this, I propose here adding an orbitdb.maintainer field to our package.jsons. Using an "orbitdb" key allows us to future-proof this in case we want to use other metadata in the future in our npm manifests.

In keeping with orbitdb-archive/welcome#55, I add an orbitdb field here. I also suggest @shamb0t as an extra maintainer, as she is already a contributor here. When this is merged, she should be added.

I need to update this. At the moment, I think it is a bit behind what we currently should/ought to use. I'll come back to this.
