Emeritus Maintainer @NehemiahMi Transition Proposal

[mingcheng]

Background

According to our community governance guidelines, maintainers who have been inactive for an extended period may be transitioned to Emeritus Maintainer status. This status honors their past contributions while acknowledging their current unavailability to fulfill maintainer responsibilities.

So, we propose to transition @NehemiahMi to Emeritus Maintainer status due to extended inactivity in project responsibilities.

Rationale

• No participation in community weekly meetings for at least 3 months
• No code contributions or reviews in the past 1 year, and he's last contribution recorded was more than 1 year ago

Proposal

Move @NehemiahMi to Emeritus Maintainer status, recognizing their past contributions while acknowledging current unavailability.

• Motion: Transition @NehemiahMi to Emeritus Maintainer status.
• Voting Period: 2026-06-12 to 2026-06-19 (7 days, after our next community meeting)
