OBS is full of many interesting packages. Lots of maintainers (if the Novell site is correct, there are over 20000 developers using OBS). Occasionally I come across a question about a specific OBS project. I am usually unsure where to address questions. Some projects list a dozens or so people, with no clear idea who is actually active, or who might respond to questions. Obviously, OBS itself can do nothing about this. It is more a social/organizational question. This list is, I think, geared to OBS itself more than to packages in OBS. Questions about any specific package seems outside the scope of this list.
I am wondering if there is some informal way OBS developers AND USERS are assumed to be communicating. It would be nice if OBS had a 'contact us' button for each project that allowed a message to be sent to the project's designated "question-answerer". (I bet someone will now tell me that I have missed the big green button that does this:)) I think this question will become more important as more and more people begin to use packages in OBS.

Roger, I don't know a great answer, but two things you can do is look to see who the bugowners are and who is accepting SRs for the package(s) you are interested in. As a very minor example I am supporting open2300. https://build.opensuse.org/package/users?package=open2300&project=hard You can see I'm the only bugowner not inherited from the project. And on: https://build.opensuse.org/package/source_history?package=open2300&project=hardware You can see AJ accepted the initial submission (#1), but I did the subsequent one.
