I agree an the bad choice of the word master is probably what triggered my
earlier negative reply.

Why not just use:
packager (for everyone who is experienced/trained)
mentor packager (for those mentoring apprentices)
apprentice packager (for those still being trained by the mentors)

There is no need to give an experienced packager a pompous title.
In FOSS what counts is the work done, not the title.
