# Maintainers | Maintainer | Role | Responsibilities | |---|---|---| | [`@josealvaradoa`](https://github.com/josealvaradoa) | Lead maintainer | Repository administration, releases, security response, and contribution review | Maintainers are added or removed through a pull request that updates this file and [`GOVERNANCE.md`](GOVERNANCE.md). A candidate should have a sustained record of constructive contributions, understand the project's privacy and security boundaries, and explicitly accept the responsibilities in the governance policy. The project currently has one maintainer. Branch protection therefore requires all changes to use a pull request and pass automated gates, but does not require an approval the author cannot give themselves. After a second active maintainer is added, require at least one approval and code-owner review on `main`.
