I think it's not (or at least no longer) accurate to describe the maintainer of the core packages as the "coordination committee". We have a larger number of maintainers for the core package that are not the the Coco, ad reversely, we have had (or cna have in the future) Coco members who are not maintainers of the code package. Alternate wordings could be "core maintainers", but that's too self-refential as for an entry in "core package - maintainers", or it could be a link to the roles page, but I don't think it's worth setting that up here. So, I suggest just this minimal change.

Should we just copy from the official citation file at https://github.com/astropy/astropy/blob/711c366c09990896b710c45c851c4ce3b5c9bccc/CITATION.cff#L11 ?

If that's in the official reference, makes sense – though Maintainer Community sounds more accurate to me, as not all contributors have maintainer rights or tasks.
