Trainee maintainer issue cleanup
Problem
In order to increase our maintainer ratio, we need to have more people approved as maintainers in various projects. Some people's trainee maintainer issues have been open for more than 6 months and some will be open for more than 6 months by the end of the quarter.
The intent is to identify action taken on each of these trainee maintainer issues. This action could be identifying blocking reason (not enough significant reviews, person left, no longer interested) and calling out an action for the issue.
Managers of the person in question should be considered the DRI for the purposes of this issue and determining what action can be taken.
