Make hustewart backend maintainer

Hunter Stewart requested to merge hustewart-be-maintainer into master

Manager Justification

It's hard to specify hard requirements for becoming a maintainer, which is why the documentation consists of flexible guidelines. Reviewers are encouraged to think of their eligibility for maintainership in the terms of "I could be ready at any time to be a maintainer as long as my work as an author and reviewer is consistent with other maintainers".

  • The MRs reviewed by the candidate consistently make it through maintainer review without significant additionally required changes.
  • The MRs authored by the candidate consistently make it through reviewer and maintainer review without significant required changes.

@hustewart Attention to detail, keen interest in code quality and desire to help out other engineers, paired with his track record of reviewed and merged MR would make him an excellent Ruby on Rails Maintainer
