The criteria for becoming a Maintainer are as follows:
- Demonstrated track record of PR reviews (both quality and quantity)
- Demonstrated track record of PR submissions (both quality and quantity)
- Demonstrated thought leadership in the project
- Demonstrated shepherding of project work and contributors
The best way to get started is to regularly contribute and review pull requests.
To nominate a candidate, send a PR adding the candidate's name to the list of Current Maintainers. If the candidate is not the author, have the candidate approve the PR as well.
Once the PR is approved and merged, an existing Maintainer will add the candidate to the Maintainers GitHub team.

Maintainers may be removed by explicit resignation, for prolonged inactivity (e.g. 3 or more months with no review comments), for some infraction of the code of conduct, or for consistently demonstrating poor judgment. A proposed removal also requires a majority approval. A Maintainer removed for inactivity may be restored following a sustained resumption of contributions and reviews (a month or more) demonstrating a renewed commitment to the project.
To remove a Maintainer, send a PR to move the candidate from Current Maintainers to Retired Maintainers. If the candidate is not the author, request review from the candidate to inform them of their removal. Approval from the candidate is not required, though it is desirable.
Once the PR is approved and merged, a Maintainer will remove the person from the Maintainers GitHub team.
