A lot of people have put forward this theory, but I'm pretty sure it's not a thing.

The Volume 3 DVD Commentaries actually reveal that the idea for the Maidens was thought up by Monty in between Volume 2 and Volume 3 and worked into the story. Winter and Summer were named before this, so if they are Maidens it has to have been worked into it retroactively, which I find unlikely.

There's literally nothing else in the canon to support them being Maidens other than their names. Furthermore, it makes no sense for Winter to be a Maiden given the way she was treated by Qrow and the other members of "The Brotherhood" besides the fact that she doesn't use any Maiden powers. And like ACW said earlier, Summer is a Silver-Eyed Warrior which is as yet not related to the Maidens.
