A lot of project, SIG, and TOC-related content is in the TOC repo. cncf.io has information on all programs offered publicly by CNCF.

The list of maintainers for each CNCF project is held in the project-maintainers.csv file. An existing project maintainer can update this list by Pull Request, and they should also email [email protected] (or raise a service desk ticket) to request corresponding changes to the project's CNCF-run maintainer mailing list.

You are welcome to file non-technical issues related to CNCF on this repo.
