Tossing Our Caps: gRPC Governance Changes and the Path To CNCF Graduation
summary
gRPC is still incubating in the CNCF and a concrete plan moves it toward graduation: a voted Contributor Ladder (org members require ~4 PRs/year, core promotion needs two sponsor reviewers, maintainers are voted), an elected seven‑person Steering Committee that started its term Aug 15, retroactive placement of 67 maintainers under the new tiers, a technical advisory due‑diligence checklist, and a formal TOC application pending.
