The following is required:

- Shown consistent and quality contributions to multiple repositories in the Sensu ecosystem.
- MFA enabled on your Github account

- Open an issue indicating that you would like to become a maintainer for one or more areas such as
ruby_plugins,ruby_extensions,windows_plugins,python_plugins, etc For a full list areas that are maintained look here - Endorsed by two or more active maintainers with no vetos against them
- Have acknowledged that they have read and will abide by the terms outlined in the Code of Conduct
- Will be invited to the organization, teams, slack channels, etc as outlined via internal maintainer processes.
An org maintainer is not scoped to specific projects (even if they mostly focus on an area), they provide OSS mentorship to other maintainers, manage permissions + credentials, set organization wide policies, etc.
- Meet all conditions of being a maintainer
- Kick ass on a regular basis
- Be endorsed by two current Org Maintainers
- This is really an internal process, once becoming a maintainer reach out to an existing org maintainer to start informal internal discussions.
