Backstage has officially hit over 1,000 adopters and 1,000 contributors – so it’s apt timing to modernize the governance model for the project. Taking pointers from the [CNCF Contributor Ladder Governance Template](https://contribute.cncf.io/maintainers/templates/), a new [Backstage Governance Model](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md) is now in effect! Patrik walked us through the new ladder model which introduces a number of changes, one being the addition of [project area maintainers](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md#project-area-maintainer). This role lets members of the community take increased ownership over a specific area of interest, like Catalog, Discoverability, TechDocs, Helm Charts, and Kubernetes. New project areas that will be added include Permissions and Software Templates. New project areas can be proposed by nominating a project area maintainer for the area. The new model also adds an organization member role for contributors who want to take a more active role in the Backstage community.
