+Previously, most components of Coq had a single principal maintainer
+in charge.  This was changed in 8.12 (`#11295
+<https://github.com/coq/coq/pull/11295>`_) so that every component has
+now a dedicated team of maintainers (in charge of reviewing and
+merging incoming pull requests).  This gave us a chance to
+significantly expand the pool of maintainters and provide faster
+feedback to contributors.  Special thanks to all our maintainers!

+Our current 31 maintainers are Yves Bertot, Frédéric Besson, Tej
