-# TODOs and Remarks
-
-## Now
-
-* ghcup init?
-* merge two download files
-* fetch/unpack functionality
-* installing multiple versions of the same
-* post-install
-
-* proper test suite
-
-* !! update of 0.1.5 must go in ghcup-0.0.1.json !!
-
-* try to run exe before upgrade (backup to ~/.ghcup/bin/ghcup.old)
-* stdout flushing?
-* resume support (for make-install only)
-
-## Maybe
-
-* version ranges in json
-* sign the JSON? (Or check gpg keys?)
-* testing (especially distro detection -> unit tests)
-
-## Later
-
-* add support for RC/alpha/HEAD versions
-
-## Cleanups
-
-* avoid alternative for IO
-* use plucky or oops instead of Excepts
-
-## Questions
-
-* move out GHCup.Version module, bc it's not library-ish?
-* mirror support
-* interactive handling when distro doesn't exist and we know the tarball is incompatible?
-* ghcup-with wrapper to execute a command with a given ghc in PATH?

+## Project ownership and hierarchy
+
+The project at the time of writing (2024-04-22) follows the model of
+[benevolent dictator for life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life), which is
+Julian Ospald at the moment.
+
+Ideally, the ownership should be shared across a core team of collaborators sharing the same vision and
+engagement in the future.
+
+I do not believe in people making decisions over projects they are barely involved in. Instead I believe
+in listening to end users needs very carefully and making decisions based on that. People who want a direct
+influence on the decision process have to both demonstrate they share the vision of GHCup and do the actual
+work.
+
+"Work" here doesn't have to be "writing code". There are many ways to be engaged in a project.
+
+### Transition plan in case of maintainer absence
+
+In case the current maintainer of GHCup (Julian Ospald) is unreachable for a prolonged period of time (3 months),
+the ownership of this project will be automatically transferred to the following individuals:
+
+- [Moritz Angerman](https://github.com/angerman)
+- [Andrew Lelechenko](https://github.com/Bodigrim)
+
+They will be tasked with finding new maintainers in whatever way they see fit (be it appointing themselves or asking HF for help).
+
+The appointed owners may choose to stay owners after the transition period (whether it's in a passive or active capacity) or
+fully transfer ownership to someone else or an organization.
+
+The community shall be informed about this process.
+
+If not otherwise specified by the newly appointed owners, the following principles shall apply to the *transition period*:
+
+#### During the transition period
+
+During the transition period, no other individual or organization is allowed to drive changes to
+[ghcup-hs](https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-hs) repository, unless they are explicitly allowed to do so by the appointed owners.
+
+The following people (in addition to the owners) shall have full write access to the
+[ghcup-metadata](https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata) repository
+(all files) for the length of the transition period, unless otherwise specified by the appointed owners:
+
+- [Ben Gamari](https://github.com/bgamari)
+- [Hécate Moonlight](https://github.com/Kleidukos)
+- [Mike Pilgrem](https://github.com/mpilgrem)
+- [Jens Petersen](https://github.com/juhp)
+
+Contributions to the metadata are expected to follow a review process. If that turns out to be impractical due to lack of engagement, a wait
+time of 2 days before merging shall be followed anyway, except for the `-vanilla` files, which may be merged at any time.
+
+#### Access
+
+The GHCup website, various scripts and unofficial bindists are hosted on haskell.org infrastructure. Contact the
+[Haskell.org committee](https://www.haskell.org/haskell-org-committee/) for access.
+
+The backup owners should already have admin rights on the GHCup repositories, which are hosted on the
+[Github haskell namespace](https://github.com/haskell). In case of issues contact one of the
+organization admins for access, e.g.:
+
+- [Andrew Lelechenko](https://github.com/orgs/haskell/people/Bodigrim)
+- [gbaz](https://github.com/orgs/haskell/people/gbaz)
+- [Hécate Moonlight](https://github.com/Kleidukos)
+- [davean](https://github.com/orgs/haskell/people/davean)
+- [chessai](https://github.com/orgs/haskell/people/chessai)
+
+The owners should already have access to the [hackage package](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/ghcup/maintainers/).
+In case of issues contact the [hackage trustees](https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees).
+
+#### Private runners
+
+Private runners maintained by Julian Ospald may cease to work. Moritz Angerman will have SSH access to the machines.
+However, no one will have access to the Hetzner account and billing information. As such, those runners will simply
+have to be replaced.
