The list of maintainers is at boost/libs/maintainers.txt in the Boost 
sources on Github, but this list may be out of date. For approving PRs I 
actually see the name of Noel Belcourt for the 'graph' library. His 
e-mail is kbelco - at - sandia - dot - gov.

We do appear to need a maintainer for 'graph' because the latest 
'develop' was never merged to 'master' and there are many PRs against 
graph that have been largely ignored. Maybe Noel Belcourt has been too 
busy to work with Boost, so I think another maintainer for 'graph' would 
be most welcome.
