## 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!
