Hello Technical Board.
Mariusz is working on updating the Organisation docs to reflect the DEP 10 governance changes.
Whilst looking at that we realise that we're short an active official Releaser.

Likely a third-releaser is not needed, with Mariusz and I alternating, and covering each other, but it's a backup — we should have a third active person in the role.
James Bennet has served as the third releaser since the DEP 10 changes, but hasn't been active in the last period. Whether he wishes to continue or step-back, I don't feel it's in line with the spirit of the above paragraph to have the responsibility fall on James alone at the current time.
The three most plausible candidates for releaser are James Bennet, Tim Graham, and Florian Apolloner. Of these Florian is currently most active, and in most regular communication with us.
As such, I would like to nominate Florian as a new Releaser, and ask the TB to discuss/vote on that in accordance with DEP 10.
(I didn't discuss this with him but, I hope that's OK with you Florian?)
As I say, it's unlikely to be needed, but came up in reviewing Mariusz changes.
Kind Regards,
Carlton

+1 I’m in favour of giving Florian the access and necessary training, should he want it.

Sorry to hijack, but maybe something to think about next time - but considering the 2 fellows cover the release process quite well already, would it be worth considering a "junior" releaser as a third? Someone to be mentored via pairing that would help encourage either new contributors OR keep existing ones engaged?

Given that I am on the TB I will not participate in the vote -- even though I do not expect my vote to change anything in the outcome.

Given that I'd mostly serve as fallback I guess it would be fine (assuming we have a good documented release process :D)
Cheers,
Florian

We do. I’d not be able to do it otherwise. 🥳
