-## Becoming a Maintainer
-
-Aries Mediator Service within the Hyperledger Aries community welcomes contributions. Contributors may progress to become a maintainer. To become a
-maintainer the following steps occur, roughly in order.
-
-- 3 **significant** changes have been authored by the proposed maintainer and
-  accepted.
-- The proposed maintainer has the sponsorship of at least one other maintainer.
-  - This sponsoring maintainer will create a PR modifying the list of
-    maintainers.
-  - The proposed maintainer accepts the nomination and expresses a willingness
-    to be a long-term (more than 6 month) maintainer.
-  - This would be a comment in the above PR.
-  - This PR will be communicated in all appropriate communication channels. It
-    should be mentioned in any maintainer/community call. It should also be
-    posted to the appropriate mailing list or chat channels if they exist.
-- Approval by at least 2 current maintainers within two weeks of the proposal or an absolute majority of current maintainers.
-  - These votes will be recorded in the PR modifying the list of maintainers.
-- No veto by another maintainer within two weeks of proposal are recorded.
-  - All vetoes must be accompanied by a public explanation as a comment in the
-    PR for adding this maintainer
-  - The explanation of the veto must be reasonable.
-  - A veto can be retracted, in that case the approval/veto time-frame is reset.
-  - It is bad form to veto, retract, and veto again.
-- The proposed maintainer becomes a maintainer
-  - Either two weeks have passed since the third approval,
-  - Or an absolute majority of maintainers approve.
-  - In either case, no maintainer presents a veto.
-
-## Removing Maintainers
-
-Being a maintainer is not a status symbol or a title to be maintained
-indefinitely. It will occasionally be necessary and appropriate to move a
-maintainer to emeritus status. This can occur in the following situations:
-
-- Resignation of a maintainer.
-- Violation of the [Hyperledger Code of
-  Conduct](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/HYP/Hyperledger+Code+of+Conduct) warranting removal.
-- **Inactivity**.
-  - A general measure of inactivity will be no commits or code review comments
-    for one reporting quarter, although this will not be strictly enforced if
-    the maintainer expresses a reasonable intent to continue contributing.
-  - Reasonable exceptions to inactivity will be granted for known long term
-    leave such as parental leave and medical leave.
-- Other unspecified circumstances.
-
-Like adding a maintainer the record and governance process for moving a
-maintainer to emeritus status is recorded in the github PR making that change.
-
-Returning to active status from emeritus status uses the same steps as adding a
-new maintainer. Note that the emeritus maintainer already has the 3 required
-significant changes as there is no contribution time horizon for those.
