The Sign up to maintain this page button described in point a of Proposed resolution has never been implemented. Every person with the community role can edit documentation pages (except some sections), but people cannot add themselves as maintainer of documentation guides.

"sign up to maintain this page" - How would that work? Is that automatic or is there some process to follow?

Basing on the description, it is a submission button with a custom submission handler which adds the currently logged-in user to the list of people who signed up as documentation maintainers.
Since the used verb is sign up, I am not clear if that means there is a list of people who is willing to be maintainer somebody else will approve, or people who "sign up" are automatically added as maintainers. In both the cases, custom code must be written. - 🇺🇸United States joshuami Portland, OR
The conversation around has shifted a lot in the last 10 years. I would argue that just signing up, without some sort of approval process, will result in spam of some sort. Much of this conversation and the original issue was before we implemented all of the user confirmation workflow to reduce spam.
There might be a path to allowing confirmed project maintainers to sign up automatically or perhaps better would be for a documentation maintainer request to be sent to the project maintainer for approval.
I doubt there is bandwidth for the development of either, but @hestenet might have some ideas.
