## Known Gaps

The public individual maintainer roster and two-or-more unaffiliated
maintainer criterion remain governance-owned known gaps tracked in
`BEST_PRACTICES.md` and `docs/governance/cncf-application.md`.

## Emeritus

None.

## Becoming a Maintainer

The path to maintainer is documented in
[`GOVERNANCE.md`](GOVERNANCE.md#becoming-a-maintainer). In short:
sustained high-quality contributions, nomination by an existing
maintainer, lazy-consensus approval, and addition to this file in the
same PR that grants commit access.
