# Maintainers
## Current release authority
Until the public maintainer roster is expanded, release authority for
RustUse/rustuse belongs to the RustUse maintainers with write access to the
canonical GitHub repository.
## Responsibilities
Maintainers are expected to:
- review and merge pull requests
- keep the release checklist and changelog current
- publish crates in the documented order
- respond to security and conduct reports in a timely way
- preserve authorship and provenance when porting mirrored contributions
## Updating this file
Changes to maintainer authority should be made by pull request and approved by a
current maintainer with canonical release authority.
