Hello Zorillas/Stackers,
I'd like to make propose some core team additions. Earlier in the cycle [1], I sought contributors who are interested in helping us maintain and grow manila. I'm happy to report that we had an fairly enthusiastic response. I'd like to propose two individuals who have stepped up to join the core maintainers team. Bear with me as I seek to support my proposals with my personal notes of endorsement:
Victoria Martinez de la Cruz - Victoria has been contributing to Manila since it's inception. She has played various roles during this time and has contributed in significant ways to build this community. She's been the go-to person to seek reviews and collaborate on for CephFS integration, python-manilaclient, manila-ui maintenance and support for the OpenStack client. She has also brought onboard and mentored multiple interns on the team (Fun fact: She was recognized as Mentor of Mentors [2] by this community). It gives me great joy that she agreed to help maintain the project as a core maintainer.
Carlos Eduardo - Carlos has made significant contributions to Manila for the past two releases. He worked on several feature gaps with the DHSS=True driver mode, and is now working on graduating experimental features that the project has been building since the Newton release. He performs meaningful reviews that drive good design discussions. I am happy to note that he needed little mentoring to start reviewing the OpenStack Way [3] - this is a dead give away to me to spot a dedicated maintainer who cares about growing the community, along with the project.
Please give me your +/- 1s for this proposal.
Thank you, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr)
