Description
> > From the CNCF POV, project maintainers are people who can speak for the project and therefore should have access to everything (service desk, Maintainers mailing list, Copilot, etc).

> "Maintainers" in containerd's terminology (which was inherited to Lima) has been inconsistent with that of CNCF, so I suggest changing the terminology:
>
> * Maintainers → Project Members? Community Members? Org Members?
> * Committers → Maintainers
> * Reviewers → Reviewers (as-is)? Maintainer Candidates?
