Hello all 👋 For the consideration of the [@steering\_council](https://forum.djangoproject.com/groups/steering_council), I would like to suggest Mariusz Felisiak (@felixxm) be granted the role of [Releaser](https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/final/0010-new-governance.rst#new-role-releaser) for Django. Based off how I understand the [DEP-10 process for selecting a Releaser](https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/final/0010-new-governance.rst#process-of-selecting-mergers-and-releasers), a member of the Steering Council may now formally nominate him and trigger a vote. * * * Mariusz is well setup and would be an excellent support - pretty pretty please ❤ ---

This is a no-brainer for me. I vote +1 on granting Mariusz the role of Releaser. ---

It might also make sense to remove James as fallback releaser and have the ops team there with a shared account or so? ---

+1 from me too. I am glad Mariusz is happy to continue helping Django in such a vital role. ---

I am happy to both formally nominate Mariusz and vote +1 on his appointment as a Releaser, if we still need the nomination. ---

I was unaware that I _was_ a Releaser. If I am, I’m content to continue as an emergency backup (though I haven’t done a Django release in years, so I probably would be quite slow at it if ever called upon), or to step down if that’s the preference. As to Mariusz, I’m happy to vote +1. ---

Thank you everyone 😁 I believe that concludes the Steering Council vote which was unanimously in favour of granting Mariusz the Releaser role - congratulations @felixxm 🥳 ---
