As per Notary Project community meeting held on December 4, 2023, the community discussed and agreed on nominating new Notary Project Org maintainers from sub-project maintainers according to the governance guide. This month, we also aligned that keep the total number of org maintainers as 6.

I would like to nominate Yi Zha (@yizha1) as a Notary Project Org maintainer. He has been a Notary Project sub-project maintainer for various important sub-projects such as specifications, notation, notaryproject.dev and has made significant contributions to the Notary Project since joining the community.

In terms of routine work activities in the community, he has been a moderator for the community meetings more than 1 year and has made substantial contributions to the whole organization. This was achieved through the review of PRs (Pull Requests) and offering comments on issues. The following table shows his contributions to the Notary Project sub-projects in the last 12 months

The data shown in above tables is copied from source #54

As a governance maintainer, he helped the community to build up governance process and refactored the contributing guide. He also contributed to the Notation Security audit 2023 and finished the latest Notation threat model with quality.

In terms of community advocacy, he had a talk at KubeCon China 2023 and shared the supply chain security best practices in the industry.

I believe that Yi Zha (@yizha1)'s experience and expertise will be an asset to the Notary Project, and I am confident that he will continue to make valuable contributions to the community. Please comment "+1" to vote for him if you agree with this nomination. Thanks!
