I would strike "actively monitoring the mailing list". To me, it should
be what are the hours of the day that the maintainer might happen to poll
(or might receive an interrupt) from the appropriate communications
channels (could be IRC, could be email, etc).
For my area, I would want to say something like: I tend to be active
between 17:00 UTC (18:00 UTC when daylight savings) and 25:00 (26:00),
but often will check for urgent or brief items up until 07:00 (08:00).
I interact with email via a poll model. I interact with IRC via a
pull model and often overlook IRC activity for multiple days).
^^^^ typo, that should be "poll", not "pull"
