probably some options that would allow to :
- create a new maintenance with host pre-included
- create a new maintenance with all groups that this host is member of pre-included
- list all active or upcoming maintenances that this host is included in
- create a new maintenance with selected hosts pre-included (from mass update)
several of these will have to handle cases when user has write access to host, but not to all hosts in the host's group (thus can not create maintenance).
in some cases host will be in maintenance that current user won't be able to change - probably those should be shown, but identified as non-modifiable

Hello,
Has this feature request been abandoned? It's a nice to have implementation. For now we're running Ansible tasks for putting hosts in maintenance 
I would like to see this working, having a button and API call to Start the maintenance immediately, and then Stop the maintenance mode. With or without the possibility of specifying the window length (could be some configurable default max value set to 12 hours lets say, in case someone forgets to stop maintenance mode or automation fails in the process)
This could be used in other automation running on hosts to simply avoid manual interaction
