-## Core Developers
-
-People who make a number of substantive contributions will be named
-"core developers" of AMReX.  The criteria for becoming a core
-developer are flexible, but generally involve one of the following:
-
-  * 100 non-trivial commits to `amrex/Src/`  *and/or*
-
-  * addition of a new algorithm / module  *and/or*
-
-  * substantial input into the code design process or testing
-
-If a core developer is inactive for multiple years, we may reassess their
-status as a core developer.
