Ability to communicate clearly in English is a prerequsite.
I suspect all software has maintainers who have been set forth in their diplomas 
by their graduating universities.

Do you mean high school, community college, university, postgrad, or something 
else?

Who cares what you got in elementary school, or did you prep for some later 
grade of education?

Perhaps you could state why and in what manner you disapprove of which lists?

It requires a fair amount of maturity and experience with production software 
design, development, and maintenance, the common toolchain, and desire to 
improve, support, or provide packages that do not increase the burden on other 
developers, packagers, or users, to be a maintainer.

> it degrades the sustainability of every one else on a computer.

It appears that most software package designers, developers, maintainers, 
distributors, and users manage to sustain positive productive coexistence.
