How to become a maintainer

Maintainer: Active Reviewer for 60+ days, 5+ merged PRs, demonstrated judgment on spec design questions. Nominated by any Maintainer, confirmed by Project Lead.

We are actively recruiting Maintainers across independent organizations, particularly from silicon vendors, cloud providers, and regulated-industry deployers. If you are contributing to TRACE and want to take on a formal role, open an issue tagged maintainer-interest.

Affiliations identify each maintainer's professional context. They do not give an affiliated organization ownership or additional governance rights. See GOVERNANCE.md and SPONSORS.md.
