| 8 | +## New Members |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +We are thrilled to publicly announce that [Alex |
| 11 | +Macleod](https://github.com/Alexendoo), [dswij](https://github.com/dswij), and |
| 12 | +[Jason Newcomb](https://github.com/Jarcho) have joined the Clippy Team! |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Jason has been contributing to Clippy since late 2020 and was the most active |
| 15 | +contributor since then. He has contributed in pretty much every area - big |
| 16 | +refactors, bug fixes, and major improvements to our Clippy utils. Having him as |
| 17 | +an additional reviewer will be a great improvement to the team. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +dswij first started contributing late last summer and has fixed many bugs in |
| 20 | +Clippy as well as implementing some new lints to make Clippy even more helpful. |
| 21 | +With their continued contributions to Clippy and engagement in the project, |
| 22 | +we're happy to now have them as a full team member. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +Alex started contributing to Clippy shortly after and has improved our dev |
| 25 | +tooling quite a bit. Now he wants to continue focusing on our `lintcheck` tool, |
| 26 | +which will help detect false positives in new lints before we release them to |
| 27 | +the public. We're excited to have Alex on our team and looking forward to all |
| 28 | +the improvements he will bring in the future. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +With the new additions to the team, we should be able to handle our long PR |
| 31 | +queue better. We currently have over 40 open PRs, which is a good sign for the |
| 32 | +health of the project, but doesn't help when we don't have the reviewers to |
| 33 | +merge them. Now we do! |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Alumni |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +At the same time, we recently granted some of our oldest members the |
| 38 | +well-deserved alumni status. We want to thank [Pascal |
| 39 | +Hertleif](https://github.com/killercup) and [Martin |
| 40 | +Carton](https://github.com/mcarton) for all their contributions, especially in |
| 41 | +the early days. People joining today probably never worked with them on Clippy, |
| 42 | +but without them, we probably wouldn't be here. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +We also want to thank [Philipp Hansch](https://github.com/phansch) for their |
| 45 | +contributions to Clippy and all of the review work they've done over the years. |
| 46 | +To this day phansch is one of the most active Clippy contributors (measured by |
| 47 | +the number of commits). |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +And finally, thank you to [mikerite](https://github.com/mikerite), who stepped |
| 50 | +down from an active reviewer/team member position but will be staying on as a |
| 51 | +contributor. We're looking forward to continue working with them! |
