-## 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.
