This partly reflects the value of the 'maintainer' LABELs of the current
images. Oliver is the original author, but he has lots of other duties
these days, and wanted me to help him co-maintain the images.
Note that the toolbox image definitions for RHEL do need a maintainer
who is a Red Hat employee. Otherwise they won't be able to actually
build and publish the images at registry.access.redhat.com.

Toolbx was conceived to address the needs of Fedora Linux. Even though
it works on host operating systems outside the Fedora family, it hasn't
treated them with the same importance as Fedora Linux and derivatives
like Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Subsequent commits will change that by
adding first-class support for host operating systems beyond the Fedora
universe. eg., Arch Linux and Ubuntu.
The current Toolbx maintainers, Ondřej Míchal and myself, are Fedora
developers and don't have the bandwidth to drive changes and track down
bugs in OSes outside the Fedora family. Therefore, maintenance of some
parts of the code base will be delegated to contributors from those
other OS communities.
This is a step in that direction by clearly specifying which part of the
code base is maintained by whom.

For the sake of greater control over the testing of images and for having an
infrustructure for hosting images that are not endorsed by the distirbutions.
The images are to be rebuilt every day at midnight.

A lot of issues are about toolbox containers not starting up. In such
cases the output of `podman start --attach` is required to see what is
going on. It would be easier if users provided this information right
when they are filling the issue.
