| * **Users:** Members that engage with the Velero community via any medium (Slack, GitHub, mailing lists, etc.). | ||
| * **Contributors:** Regular contributions to projects (documentation, code reviews, responding to issues, participation in proposal discussions, contributing code, etc.). | ||
| * **Maintainers**: The Velero project leaders. They are responsible for the overall health and direction of the project; final reviewers of PRs and responsible for releases. Some Maintainers are responsible for one or more components within a project, acting as technical leads for that component. Maintainers are expected to contribute code and documentation, review PRs including ensuring quality of code, triage issues, proactively fix bugs, and perform maintenance tasks for these components. |

Should technical/feature leads be another role, a step forward from Contributors towards becoming a maintainer?

Can you be more specific as to what makes that role more distinct from a contributor or maintainer?

It is like giving a category to the Feature leads (Stake holders) that are mentioned here: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/blob/a86079220173c4e7f5f9dead9aa5857ba77ba758/MAINTAINERS.md#velero-contributors--stakeholders
The journey could be:
Contributors -> Leads/Stake holders -> Maintainers
As the load/backlog on the Maintainers increases, Maintainers could nominate one of the Contributors who are familiar with a certain feature/area and have significantly contributed to that area to become a Lead/Stake Holder

I think this is worth talking about "face-to-face" in our community meeting.
Initially my question is, other than on-paper recognition (which I'm all for), how would this role be different than a maintainer, in practical terms?
adding Andy and Adnan as emeritus maintainers
