-## Maintainer Responsibilities
-
-Maintainers are active and visible members of the community, and have [maintain-level permissions on a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/repository-permission-levels-for-an-organization). Use those privileges to serve the community and evolve code as follows.
-
-### Uphold Code of Conduct
-
-Model the behavior set forward by the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) and raise any violations to other maintainers and admins.
-
-### Prioritize Security
-
-Security is your number one priority. Maintainer's Github keys must be password protected securely and any reported security vulnerabilities are addressed before features or bugs.
-
-Note that this repository is monitored and supported 24/7 by Amazon Security, see [Reporting a Vulnerability](SECURITY.md) for details.
-
-### Review Pull Requests
-
-Review pull requests regularly, comment, suggest, reject, merge and close. Accept only high quality pull-requests. Provide code reviews and guidance on incomming pull requests. Don't let PRs be stale and do your best to be helpful to contributors.
-
-### Triage Open Issues
-
-Manage labels, review issues regularly, and triage by labelling them. 
-
-All repositories in this organization have a standard set of labels, including `bug`, `documentation`, `duplicate`, `enhancement`, `good first issue`, `help wanted`, `blocker`, `invalid`, `question`, `wontfix`, and `untriaged`, along with release labels, such as `v1.0.0`, `v1.1.0` and `v2.0.0`, and `backport`. 
-
-Use labels to target an issue or a PR for a given release, add `help wanted` to good issues for new community members, and `blocker` for issues that scare you or need immediate attention. Request for more information from a submitter if an issue is not clear. Create new labels as needed by the project.
-
-### Be Responsive
-
-Respond to enhancement requests, and forum posts. Allocate time to reviewing and commenting on issues and conversations as they come in. 
-
-### Maintain Overall Health of the Repo
-
-Keep the `main` branch at production quality at all times. Backport features as needed. Cut release branches and tags to enable future patches. 
-
-### Use Semver
-
-Use and enforce [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) and do not let breaking changes be made outside of major releases.
-
-### Release Frequently
-
-Make frequent project releases to the community.
-
-### Promote Other Maintainers
-
-Assist, add, and remove [MAINTAINERS](MAINTAINERS.md). Exercise good judgement, and propose high quality contributors to become co-maintainers.
