Hi all,

On the [Release repos & Maintenance Priorities spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rMwbRldYwp-xPsAG2vijqwB__9M7P2AgjDxX31G7ucA/edit#gid=0) we are urgently seeking maintainers, **currently focused on Priority 1 repos**.

We have a number of Priority 1 repos where no one has expressed interest. Please comment in the spreadsheet, in the “Owner Interest” column, if you are interested in taking on maintainership. If you _for certain_ can take on maintainership, please indicate that clearly.

Thank you,

Hi @sarina

I am working with @feanil for some of these repos and have interest in helping with those. I’ve already raised some PR on them.

I can put up my name as interested pary in these repos in sheet but I don’t have edit access.

Looking at that list I could volunteer to maintain `openedx/edx-organizations` as I’m very familiar with that code for all the multitenancy filtering work. I’ll make a nomination about it.

Since edx-organizations is already taken I can help with maintaining edx-when 🙂

@chintan @Felipe @farhaanbukhsh - thanks for stepping up!

If you’re already a CC on the repo(s) you’re volunteering for, I think you can go ahead and claim maintainership by updating `catalog-info.yaml` in your repo. Otherwise, you should go through the nomination process to become a CC on the repo - in your nomination post, you should indicate that you also wish to be a maintainer. And - you’re totally allowed to nominate yourself.

Let me know if you have any questions!

@sarina & @Michelle_Philbrick As [discussed](https://forum.opencraft.com/t/proposed-maintenance-maintainership-policy/1655/59?u=gabor) on the OpenCraft forum, I’m happy to take the `edx-rest-api-client`, `edx-drf-extensions`, repositories. As suggested, I [nominated](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/core-contributor-rights-expansion-maintainership-gabor-boros/12726) myself.
