Oversee the development of a module, theme, or other subset of Drupal core.

For more about these roles, see the Drupal core maintainers page; to see who currently holds these positions, see the core/MAINTAINERS.txt file in the latest development version of Drupal core.

Accountable for: 
  • Communicating the vision for the subsystem.
  • Delivering prompt feedback and decisions on issues affecting the subsystem when needed.
  • Being available to other contributors with questions, bug reports, and feedback on the subsystem, primarily on Drupal.org issues.
  • Working with the security team to resolve security issues in the subsystem.
  • Ensuring the subsystem respects the philosophy, design, and goals of the project.
  • Periodically triaging the subsystem's issues.
How to get started: 

Review issues in a subsystem that interests you, triage issues, and/or make patches or merge requests. After participating in issues for a while, create a Drupal core issue asking to be made a subsystem maintainer. You will most likely be made a Provisional maintainer first, and after a term of 6 months, a full maintainer.
