I support this change. Yuren and Alex are already listed as peers of the build module and have essentially been acting as owners of it since being listed. We're just making that official by splitting it out into its own module which should've been done long ago.
Since George has contributed quite a bit, and Ricky is planning on taking over ownership there - they would naturally make good peers for the module. I think this is a conservative, but good change to make now and we can always revisit this in a few months to adjust the list based on reality.

Does that make sense?
