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] user +[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 + +[collective governance policies]: ../management.md + +[NotABug]: https://notabug.org/ + +[kragle]: https://notabug.org/kragle |
