# Independent Maintainer 90-Day Scorecard

This scorecard tracks whether maintainership is genuinely shared across
independent organizations over a sustained window.

Use this for roadmap execution, external governance reviews, and resubmission
evidence packages.

## Goal

Demonstrate at least one additional maintainer from an independent
organization with sustained merge and review activity over 90 days.

## Scope Rules

- "Independent" means a different organization, not a co-design partner account
  under the same maintainer control.
- Activity must be repository-visible: commits, reviews, triage, and release
  support.
- The window is rolling 90 days, updated weekly.

## Acceptance Thresholds

1. At least 1 independent maintainer candidate with activity in 9 out of 10
   weeks.
2. At least 6 merged PRs from that candidate in the 90-day window.
3. At least 12 substantive reviews from that candidate.
4. At least 2 security/conformance-impacting contributions.
5. At least 1 release-cycle contribution (release notes, migration notes, or
   stabilization support).

## Evidence Collection

- Use GitHub filters by author/reviewer and date range.
- Keep links to PRs/reviews in a companion issue or project board.
- Snapshot this file at each monthly close for auditability.

## Governance Boundary

This scorecard is contribution evidence, not legal determination.
External reviewers may apply stricter criteria depending on program policy.
