I don't think wiki pages have maintainers as such, just people who take
an interest and provide additional information, corrections and updates.
Yes, I am the originator of the page, but it is everyone's page.

As it stands, anyone using pre-Jessie (that's a good way you found of
putting it) could follow the instructions on the page and carry them out
without needing root access. It should be possible to accomodate pre-
and post-Jessie users on the same page by making the requirements for
the different distributions clearer. After all, the commands to use are
practically identical. A small extra section would do it.
