## Members

People who are either not eligible or willing to be Homebrew maintainers but have shown continued involvement in the Homebrew community may be admitted by a majority vote of the [Project Leadership Committee](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-Governance#4-project-leadership-committee) to join the Homebrew GitHub organisation as [members](https://docs.brew.sh/Homebrew-Governance#2-members).

When admitted as members:

- Invite them to the [**@Homebrew/members** team](https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/teams/members), to give them access to the private governance repository.
- Invite them as a single-channel guest to the #members channel on the [`machomebrew` private maintainers Slack](https://machomebrew.slack.com/admin/invites) (and ensure they've read the [communication guidelines](Maintainer-Guidelines.md#communication)) and ask them to use their real name there (rather than a pseudonym they may use on e.g. GitHub).
- Add them to the membership list in the [homebrew-governance repository](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-governance).
