How to add roles

See https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/reference-information... → to read about the content types in the Contributor Guide. There is a link there to add a new Role or Task page (some Roles listed here might also need Tasks created). Be sure to browse through https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/find-your-role → and https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/find-a-task → to make sure your roles/tasks are not already there (the titles may not be what you expect!) before adding new roles or tasks.

Drupal Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Team Member, Drupal Diversity & Inclusion Advisor, DD&I Initiative Lead, DD&I Initiative Committee Lead, DD&I Initiative Volunteer. These were suggested by rubyji in comment #32. Some info about these roles might (??) be found on https://www.drupaldiversity.com/ (??)
Drupal Swag Shop working group member. This was mentioned on https://www.drupal.org/community/blog/drupal-community-update-august-2021 → and Will Huggins said they needed these skills: "marketing, project management, and design". I found https://www.drupal.org/project/swagshop → and https://www.drupal.org/swag →

There's probably lots more to do with infrastructure, various committees, working groups etc too, and I'm sure I've not captured all DrupalCon roles for example.

I feel like I must be missing something but I see no role for *DrupalCon Speaker* even though there is DrupalCamp Speaker.

I wonder if this is related to the "Events spoken at" field, which is also not listing all of the camps or any cons where I have spoken.

Can we "push" this as we are already planning the next Splash Awards. Thank you!
