That's easy! I (pth at suse de aka psmt) maintain graphwiz :) But as you asked:
$ osc maintainer openSUSE:11.2/graphviz
bugowner: psmt
maintainer: -
I'm only mentioned as bugowner as I do not have maintainer rights in the 11.2 project.
You can also find out who directly maintains a package, if you are not sure that bugowner and maintainer are the same person. However this only works for packages in Factory. The metadata for each package in openSUSE Factory contains which project is used for the actual package development: $ osc meta pkg openSUSE:Factory graphviz <package project="openSUSE:Factory" name="graphviz"> <title>Graph Visualization Tools</title> <description>A collection of tools and tcl packages for the manipulation and layout of graphs (as in nodes and edges, not as in bar charts). </description> <devel project="graphics" package="graphviz"/> </package> Then you can use the osc maintainer command on the devel project, at which point we find out that Philipp is not entered explicitly as maintainer here either: $ osc maintainer graphics graphviz bugowner: psmt maintainer: - Anyway using osc meta pkg openSUSE:Factory <packagename> can be useful to find out where the action is on a package that you want to branch and modify.
