Thanks again for bringing this up, David! As an update to the community, the PMC has approved a process to make use of this feature.
Here are the relevant updates: PR to add the policy: https://github.com/apache/kafka-site/pull/510 PR to update the list: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/13713 Ticket to automate this process.. Contributions welcome :) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14995 And to make sure it doesn't fall through the cracks in the mean time, here's the release process step: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process#ReleaseProcess-UpdatetheCollaboratorsList Unfortunately, the "collaborator" feature only allows 20 usernames, so we have decided to simply take the top 20 non-committer authors from the past year (according to git shortlog).
