He has contributed in pretty much every area - big +refactors, bug fixes, and major improvements to our Clippy utils. Having him as +an additional reviewer will be a great improvement to the team. + +dswij first started contributing late last summer and has fixed many bugs in +Clippy as well as implementing some new lints to make Clippy even more helpful. +With their continued contributions to Clippy and engagement in the project, +we're happy to now have them as a full team member. + +Alex started contributing to Clippy shortly after and has improved our dev +tooling quite a bit. Now he wants to continue focusing on our `lintcheck` tool, +which will help detect false positives in new lints before we release them to +the public. We're excited to have Alex on our team and looking forward to all +the improvements he will bring in the future. + +With the new additions to the team, we should be able to handle our long PR +queue better. We currently have over 40 open PRs, which is a good sign for the +health of the project, but doesn't help when we don't have the reviewers to +merge them. Now we do! + +## Alumni + +At the same time, we recently granted some of our oldest members the +well-deserved alumni status. We want to thank [Pascal +Hertleif](https://github.com/killercup) and [Martin +Carton](https://github.com/mcarton) for all their contributions, especially in +the early days. People joining today probably never worked with them on Clippy, +but without them, we probably wouldn't be here. + +We also want to thank [Philipp Hansch](https://github.com/phansch) for their +contributions to Clippy and all of the review work they've done over the years. +To this day phansch is one of the most active Clippy contributors (measured by +the number of commits). + +And finally, thank you to [mikerite](https://github.com/mikerite), who stepped +down from an active reviewer/team member position but will be staying on as a +contributor. We're looking forward to continue working with them!
