Nominating @lukekarrys as a collaborator
I would like to nominate lukekarrys as a collaborator. Luke is a member of the npm team and is focusing quite a bit on releases for npm and would like to get more involved in Node.js, especially in regards to the upcoming npm 9 release.
I am heading on parental leave for a couple months in two weeks and I think it is very important to have an npm team member how can review npm related PRs, help with any integration issues that arise, and be able to run CI. While @ruyadorno
can likely support here I don't think it is fair for the npm team to rely on other folks to do this work when we have funded engineers.
While they do not currently have any contributions to Node.js directly I can vouch for their work and ethical standards. If folks are uncomfortable with making someone a collaborator until they have more explicit work directly on Node.js we could alternatively explore ways to allow Luke to run CI / CITGM without requiring a commit bit.
One thing I will advocate for, the npm team is actively working on a "sub tree" of what ships in Node.js that happens to live in another repo, npm. I believe it is extremely important for us to have more collaboration + integration between the teams. That said, totally understand if folks prefer to see more direct engagement.
