### Changes in Maintainership
Maintainers can be removed if at least 2/3 of existing maintainers agree.
Every 6 months (March and September) active maintainers fill in a survey covering what they have been doing as a maintainer
for the last period, and what they are planning on focusing on in the next period. The survey is not made publicly
available, but is shared with existing maintainers. This serves two purposes; firstly for the maintainers group to better
understand what each maintainer is focusing on, and secondly to identify maintainers that are no longer active.
In the majority of cases a maintainer is removed by the maintainer stepping down themselves (by sending an email to
keycloak-maintainers(at)googlegroups.com). However, in exceptional circumstances a maintainer can also be removed with
2/3 of votes from existing maintainers.
