I would like to remove this file as per one of my previous commits and use this instead: https://github.com/gaspar-ilom/heads/blob/heads-wiki-actions/BOARDS_AND_TESTERS.md rendered https://gaspar-ilom.github.io/heads-wiki/Boards-and-Testers/

Did you bring it back on purpose cb31412 ?

I added the main content from Maintainers-and-Testers.md to the main repo but your recent changes are still missing. What do you say?
