Historically we have used

The Rust Core Team

I like the addition of the link, but maybe for consistency's sake we should make the text the same.

@steveklabnik note that this will show up as "Pietro Albini, on behalf of the [Core Team]", as any other Inside Rust post. Do we want to change that?

Ah, I did not see that on Inside Rust! Seems fine :)

The Core Team works on project-wide policy questions on all sorts of matters,
as well as generally monitoring the overall health of the project. While some
of the discussed topics are sensitive (related to personal issues, finances, or
security) and can’t be shared outside the Core Team, a lot of them are not.

Much of the activity of the Core Team happens during weekly “triage” calls,
where we discuss and make decisions on the items brought to our attention. Last
year, we started opening up those calls by recording the parts where
non-sensitive topics are discussed and uploading the videos [on our YouTube
channel][yt]. While the videos provide the full context and nuance of the
discussion, they take a good amount of time to watch, and referring to parts of
the discussion is not always practical.

Continuing with the effort of opening up our meetings, we’re happy to announce
that the public agenda of those calls is now recorded in [issues inside the
rust-lang/core-team][issues] repository! Each discussed topic will have its own issue,
and we will provide updates each week with a summary of what we discussed
during the call.

We hope this setup will allow people to easily follow what’s on the Core Team’s
plate by subscribing to either all the activity in the repository or just to
the issues you care about. We will still continue to publish recordings of the
calls for the people who care to listen to the whole discussion.

We’ve decided at this time to limit permissions to post on the issues to the
Core Team only, and possibly invited collaborators as relevant to particular
topics. If you have an item you’d like us to discuss or if you have thoughts on
an existing topic, please email [[email protected]].
