+% Welcoming Andrew Robbins
+% Leah Rowe and Alyssa Rosenzweig
+% 4 Jun 2017
+
+On 25 April, Libreboot adopted new [collective governance
+policies](../management.md), creating a flat-hierarchy leadership of four
+people. As a result, all patches are reviewed, and all major decisions are
+voted on by the maintainers with community input. These policies formalise our
+democratic standards.
+
+Today, we welcome Andrew Robbins (IRC nick `and_who` and
+[NotABug](https://notabug.org) user [kragle](https://notabug.org/kragle)) as
+our first new maintainer under the new policy. Going forward, Andrew will gain
+push access to Libreboot in order to review patches, as well as voting rights
+and IRC operator status.
+
+Andrew works on critical improvements to the build system, many of which have
+already been merged. He is passionate about Libreboot, understanding the
+project at a deep level, and he has been an active member of the community.
+Thus, with unanimous agreement from the existing maintainers, Andrew has joined
+the project officially.
+
+We look forward to Andrew's next contributions as our project continues to
+grow.
+
+The new list of maintainers is as follows:
+
+- Alyssa Rosenzweig
+- Andrew Robbins
+- Leah Rowe
+- Paul Kocialkowski
+- Swift Geek
