Correct. In English, if you are including yourself in a list, it's good
form to list the first-person pronoun last; then the next rule to
remember is to use the same pronoun that you would use in isolation
without the list.  Since that would be "I will maintain", it turns into
"Eduardo and I will maintain".  Conversely, "give maintainer duties to
me" would become "give maintainer duties to Eduardo and me".

Unfortunately, even among native English speakers, it is a rather common
mistake to hear "something and me" used where "I" would have been correct.

Thanks for yet another English lesson :)
Maybe the maintainer can tweak it before taking it.

Thanks,
