Per discussion with the current Nixpkgs committer delegation team about potential reforms for the commit bit process, they currently have insufficient time to work through applications and are happy for the Nixpkgs core team to take over. We’ve decided it’s best to step in to clear the backlog with the current process, without blocking on any further changes for now.

We’ll need an org owner to make the following changes:

about potential reforms for the commit bit process, they currently
have insufficient time to work through applications and are happy
for the Nixpkgs core team to take over. We’ve decided it’s best
to step in to clear the backlog with the current process, without
blocking on any further changes for now.

We’ll need an org owner to make the following changes:

* Replace @jtojnar and @NickCao with @alyssais, @emilazy, and
  @wolfgangwalther as maintainers of the [`@NixOS/nixpkgs-committers`]
  team.
  
* Replace @Mic92, @jtojnar, and @NickCao with @alyssais,
  @emilazy, and @wolfgangwalther as maintainers of the
  [`@NixOS/retired-nixpkgs-contributors`] team.

* Delete the [`@NixOS/commit-bit-delegation`] team as now redundant
  to @NixOS/nixpkgs-core.

Thank you @alyssais, @emilazy and @wolfgangwalther for taking over.
Reform is much needed.

You could arrange it as a sub-team iirc. It may still be useful for @ notifications, but I'll leave that decision to you.

Done.

I removed instead of demoting @Mic92, @jtojnar, and @NickCao from the retired list since they are still active in nixpkgs.
