+ Release Managers
+ Each maintaned release branch has a release manager, who is responsible for making
+ calls about whether new features and bug fixes are backported to that release. The
+ release managers are committers, and the position is voluntary. If you would like your
+ feature or bug fix to be included in a given release, communicate with that release
+ manager. If this list goes out of date or you can't reach the listed person, reach
+ out to someone else on the list.
