#2I actually really like the MAINTAINERS file. Keeps the metadata literally in the repository and doesn't rely on an external system.

Looks clear & readable on my computer (Mac/Firefox) Perhaps you are missing the font and the page has a bad fallback font?

The font stack is just "Helvetica, sans-serif" but the weight is set to 100 which is extremely light. So if you have a very light variant of Helvetica installed it might be unreadable.
Edit: or if your default sans-serif font has a super light variant installed, it might look very different from what was intended.
