(DRAFT process)

Curating contributors AKA Curators have "triage" access to the Besu GitHub repository which means they can

• curate, manage, label and otherwise categorize bugs and other Github issues for Besu,
• collaborate with the existing maintainers to help coordinate the development and roadmap planning of Besu

...

Access is controlled by this GitHub group. 

Granting access

PMs that need access are nominated by a maintainer they work with

...

There is no voting or other approval. The combined reputation of the nominating maintainer and confirming Curator is sufficient "social proof" for membership.

Removing access

A maintainer communicates that the Curator is no longer in the role needing access.

...

• tag or direct message to a maintainer of the GitHub group, and then access is removed

Historical record

The membership of the besu-triage group is the record of current Curators. No other record is kept.
