### Nomination and retiring of maintainers

[Maintainers](./MAINTAINERS) file on the `main` branch reflects the latest
state of project maintainers. Changes to list of maintainers should be done by
opening a pull request and CCing all the existing maintainers.
state of project maintainers. List of existing maintainers should be kept up to
date by existing maintainers to properly reflect community health and to gain
better understanding of recruiting need for new maintainers. Changes to list of
maintainers should be done by opening a pull request and CCing all the existing
maintainers.

Contributors who are interested in becoming a maintainer, if performing relevant
responsibilities, should discuss their interest with the existing maintainers. New
maintainers must be nominated by an existing maintainer and must be elected by a
supermajority of maintainers with a fallback on lazy consensus after three business weeks
inactive voting period and as long as two maintainers are on board.

Life priorities, interests, and passions can change. Maintainers can retire and
be removed from [maintainers](./MAINTAINERS) list and added to
[emeritus](./README.md#etcd-emeritus-maintainers). If a maintainer needs to step
down, they should inform other maintainers, if possible, help find someone to
pick up the related work. At the very least, ensure the related work can be
continued. Afterward they can remove themselves from list of existing maintainers.

If a maintainer is not been performing their duties for period of 12 months,
they can be removed by other active maintainers. If an emeritus maintainer wants
to regain an active role, they can do so after renewing their contributions.
they can be removed by other maintainers. In that case inactive maintainer will
be first notified via an email. If situation doesn't improve, they will be
removed. If an emeritus maintainer wants to regain an active role, they can do
so by renewing their contributions. Active maintainers should welcome such a move.
Retiring of other maintainers or regaining the status should require approval
of at least two active maintainers.
