NumFOCUS and the direction of the Project as determined by the full
Council.

technical or financial direction of the Project.

If possible, all Council Members and relevant Core Contributors should have
administrative rights on those platforms.
If this is not possible, administrative rights should be distributed among
administrative rights on those platforms. [SPEC 6](https://scientific-python.org/specs/spec-0006/)
from the scientific python project has some recommendations on shared
infrastructure and credentials.

If none of the above were possible, administrative rights should be distributed among
Council Members and relevant Core Contributors and establish a rotation
of the administrative rights every 1-2 years.
