maintainers

To create a team, the authenticated user must be a member or owner of <code>{org}</code>. By default, organization members can create teams. Organization owners can limit team creation to organization owners. For more information, see "<a href="https://docs.github.com/articles/setting-team-creation-permissions-in-your-organization">Setting team creation permissions</a>."
When you create a new team, you automatically become a team maintainer without explicitly adding yourself to the optional array of <code>maintainers</code>. For more information, see "<a href="https://docs.github.com/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/about-teams">About teams</a>".
