+
+We are thrilled to announce that Jovi De Croock [@JoviDeCroock](https://github.com/JoviDeCroock) has been approved as a co-maintainer of GraphQL.js!
+Jovi brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for the GraphQL ecosystem, making him an invaluable addition to the team.
+
+GraphQL.js is a fundamental library in the GraphQL ecosystem, serving as the reference implementation of the GraphQL specification.
+It provides essential building blocks for defining GraphQL schemas, executing queries, and validating data, making it a critical tool for developers building GraphQL APIs in JavaScript/TypeScript and acting as the backbone of many GraphQL-based applications and services.
+As the reference implementation, it aids anyone wishing to implement GraphQL in another programming language.
+These roles make GraphQL.js pivotal in driving the adoption and evolution of GraphQL technology across the web development community.
+
+The GraphQL.js maintainers ensure the project's health by managing contributions, reviewing code, addressing issues, and guiding its evolution alongside the GraphQL specification.
+The maintainer role is vital in ensuring the quality, security, and relevance of the software, fostering a collaborative environment, and engaging with the community.
+
+Please join us in welcoming Jovi De Croock to the GraphQL.js team, and join us for an upcoming [GraphQL.js Working Group meeting](https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js-wg/blob/main/README.md)!
