[VOTE] Adoption of the New Prometheus Governance

[Goutham Veeramachaneni]

Hi everyone,

Following our recent community discussions, I am officially calling for a vote to adopt the proposed new governance structure for the Prometheus project.

The Proposal & Context

You can review the finalized governance document that we are voting on here:

• Proposed Governance (GOVERNANCE.md)

This proposal is the result of the feedback and discussions over the years. We previously shared the draft here: https://groups.google.com/g/prometheus-developers/c/RyVlGJOWYXA 

---

Voting Logistics

• Eligibility: Feedback and thoughts from the broader community are entirely welcome on this thread! However, please note that only votes from current prometheus-team members will be counted toward the final result.

• Duration: This vote will remain open for two weeks (closing on Thursday, April 2, 2026) OR until a super majority is reached, whichever comes first.

Please vote with YES, NO or ABSTAIN.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussions and helped shape this document. This took a lot of effort and time. Shout out to Matthias Loibl, Björn Rabenstein, Richard Hartmann, Jan-Otto Kröpke, Arthur Sens, Ganesh Vernekar, Joe Adams, Ben Kochie, Kemal Akkoyun, Arve Knudsen, Siavash Safi, Suraj Nath and many others I am missing for all the patient feedback guiding us on this journey.

Best regards,
Goutham Veeramachaneni

(This vote refers to the state of GOVERNANCE.md at commit
672c9336913926eaf0e516b7d03165d79b07db72 .)

(Since this is visible to a wider public, I would also like to mention
that Google Groups destroys PGP signatures for no reason. Goutham will
receive the unaltered mail directly and can see the correctly signed
