Meta: Can wider-community members become a maintainer ?
https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/workflow/code-review/#maintainer outlines the current process to become a maintainer for any GitLab project, but specifically for GitLab.
A question was raised by @kencjohnston if Core team members can become a maintainer ?
Over the years the guide to becoming a maintainer has accrued various things more conducive for GitLab team members, such as :
- "Maintainers are GitLab engineers..."
- "Assign the MR to their manager..."
- 2 business days SLO

I can imagine a few potential impacts such as merges for proprietary EE code, and also Appsec reviews, so please cc anyone you see fit.
