Did you see my reply[1] and Roman’s reply[2] to your message? I think it’s great that you are thinking about governance, review process, and a path for people to become members of the project. But before you invent concepts like “core contributor”, are you familiar with the Apache concepts such as “committer”?[3]
Since Quickstep is in incubation, your goal must be to understand the Apache Way and craft the project’s governance model within that.
