Just contributing does not make you a maintainer, it is about building trust with the current maintainers of the project and being a person that they can depend on to act in the best interest of the project.
The final vote to add a new maintainer should be approved by the [governance procedure](GOVERNANCE.md).

### What is expected of maintainers?

Part of a healthy project is to have active maintainers to support the community
in contributions and perform tasks to keep the project running. Maintainers are
expected to be able to respond in a timely manner if their help is required on specific
issues where they are pinged. Being a maintainer is a time consuming commitment and should
not be taken lightly.
### How are maintainers removed?

When a maintainer is unable to perform the [required duties](#what-are-a-maintainers-responsibilities) they can be removed by the [governance procedure](GOVERNANCE.md).
Issues related to a maintainer's performance should be discussed with them among the other maintainers so that they are not surprised by a pull request removing them.
