Hi,

I am translating Gather, and I feel very uncomfortable about the term "Owner".

It's challenging to translate, because in the languages I care about - Hebrew and Russian - it requires gender. Now gender can be added without too much technical effort, but there's still the general feeling of discomfort - "owner" is a strong word in the Wikimedia world, which should usually be avoided without a good reason.

Was this word chosen intentionally, to show that lists are, in fact, owned, and privately curated?

Maybe it could be changed to something like "maintainer", "curator" or something else? Or simply "User"?
