We review signals such as repository usage, ecosystem importance, and evidence of active maintenance.

That can include pull request review, issue triage, release management, and other ongoing responsibilities carried by primary or core maintainers.

What selected maintainers receive

Selected maintainers may receive API credits for projects using Codex in pull request review, maintainer automation, release workflows, or other core OSS work.
