Hi Andy.
True, the status refers to the section, not the person.
Supported is a nominally "higher" level of stewardship than maintainer. Supported is supposed to mean you get paid to look after the code.
All of these section blocks aren't all that important anyway. It's not like there's a signed contract or something in case you don't review a suggested patch.
I think of these section blocks as one of the ways to get the appropriate people to look at patches and bug reports.
cheers, Joe
