## Maintainers
Maintainers are community members who have shown that they are committed to the continued development of the project through ongoing engagement with the community. maintainership allows contributors to more easily carry on with their project related activities by giving them direct access to the projects resources. That is, they can make changes directly to project outputs, without having to submit changes via pull requests.

This does not mean that a maintainer is free to do what they want. In fact, maintainers have no more authority over the project than contributors. While maintainership indicates a valued member of the community who has demonstrated a healthy respect for the projects aims and objectives, their work continues to be reviewed by the community before acceptance in an official release.

Anyone can become a maintainer; there are no special requirements, other than to have shown a willingness and ability to participate in the project as a team player. Typically, a potential maintainer will need to show that they have an understanding of the project, its objectives and its strategy. They will also have provided valuable contributions to the project over a period of time.
New maintainers can be nominated by any existing maintainer. Once they have been nominated, there will be a vote by the project management committee (PMC; see below). maintainer voting is one of the few activities that takes place on the projects private management list. This is to allow PMC members to freely express their opinions about a nominee without causing embarrassment. Once the vote has been held, the aggregated voting results are published on the public mailing list. The nominee is entitled to request an explanation of any no votes against them, regardless of the outcome of the vote. This explanation will be provided by the PMC Chair (see below) and will be anonymous and constructive in nature.

Nominees may decline their appointment as a maintainer. However, this is unusual, as the project does not expect any specific time or resource commitment from its community members. The intention behind the role of maintainer is to allow people to contribute to the project more easily, not to tie them in to the project in any formal way.
