Debian Edu Developpers can maintain both Debian and Debian-Edu applications.

I think if a software will be used mainly with skolelinux the field
should be something like Debian-Edu team as italc :
Maintainer: Debian Edu Developers <debian-edu@lists.debian.org>
But if it is a software which will be used both in Debian and Debian-edu
and moreover if it's a small package, only one person should be in this
field.
