Since maintaining code is such a large portion of a software developer's life, maybe it's not surprising that there is a maintaining-code tag. However, it's a meta-tag, and none of the questions I've found would suffer from losing it.

• No tag wiki
• 16 questions (1 already closed)

This tag doesn't merit full burnination (ala Shog's post), but some community input would be appreciated, as I propose to kill the tag off.

Other similar tags to be considered:

• maintenance x 379, 47 asked this year, The concept of keeping software or hardware functional in a productive environment, no wiki
• maintenance-mode × 45, 11 asked this year, no wiki
• code-maintainability × 40, 10 asked this year, no wiki
• maintainability × 203, 19 asked this year, Maintainability refers to the nature, methods, theory and art of maximizing the ease with which an asset may be sustained, modified or enhanced throughout the duration of its expected useful life., no wiki
• maintenance-plan × 56, 6 asked this year, A Maintenance plan is any variety of scheduled maintenance to an object or item of equipment.
  In SQL Server a maintenance plan creates a workflow of the tasks required to make sure that the database is optimized, regularly backed up and free of inconsistencies.

For the most part, these are SQL related, but there are a number of other questions that indicate that the tag may be ambiguous. A cleanup may be enough, especially of off-topic questions; what do you think?
