DESCRIPTION:Most scientific python maintainers build for users who will `pi
 p install` the code. In civic tech\, your community members are policy res
 earchers\, journalists\, or NGO advocates who may never touch a Python env
 ironment. This cross-disciplinary context changes maintainership: traditio
 nal open source practices serve double duty as engineering *and* social in
 frastructure. I'll share lessons learned in maintaining the [CIB Mango Tre
 e](https://cibmangotree.org)\, a civic tech Python toolkit for detecting i
 nauthentic behavior in social media. I’ll show how in civic tech context
  familiar practices\, like release cycles and continuous integration\, can
  be repurposed to surface the otherwise invisible developer work to the br
 oader community.
