I'm very, very happy that I can finally announce the news. Some
of you may recall the job announcements I put out on the blog
back in September [1]. Symmetry Investments offered to fund one
full-time, or two part-time, Pull Request Manager positions,
the goal being to improve the efficiency of our process
(prevent pull requests from stagnating for ages, make sure the
right people see the PRs in need of more than a simple review,
persuade the right people to help with specific Bugzilla
issues, etc).
Several people applied for the job, including some unknown in
the D community. Ultimately, two people were selected: one to
fill an administrative/managerial role, the other to fill a
more technical role. Today I can tell you who they are.
Please congratulate Andrew Edwards and Razvan Nitu on their new
positions! They have already been on the job for several days
and are eager to make a difference.
Currently, their responsibilities are outlined here at:
https://dlang.org/foundation/prman.html
Please consider this a living document. We will amend and
revise it as we learn more about what they and the community
need for them to do this job right.
I ask that everyone please give them time to settle in. I
expect we'll hear from them once they have, with some details
regarding how they'll perform their duties and any relevant
information for contributors.
Congratulations to Andrew and Razvan, and tremendous thanks to
Symmetry for making this happen.

That's great! Congrats to Razvan and Andrew, and thanks to
Symmetry for sponsoring the positions.
