    Huge +1 to have Emma on core's lead team. Her commitment and experience are incredibly valuable and will help Drupal in a lots of way. I've been working closely with her for a long time and can state she'd totally suited for a lead role where collaboration with the community is strategic.

    Huge support for this from me! Emma has been fantastic to work with on Drupal CMS and I think it will be great to formalise her involvement in core too. This also feels like a big step generally toward prioritising UX!

    I have worked with Emma on a few of the weekly Usability meetings and in BoF sessions at DrupalCon Vienna and DrupalCon Atlanta. Emma is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. We are lucky that Emma volunteered to join the Starshot Advisory Council, and I think that Emma is perfect for the newly created UX Manager role for Drupal core.

    +1 I've not worked with Emma much but we need core leadership in this area and recognising the Emma's role in Drupal CMS by making her the UX Manager for core is great and part of the plan of how Drupal CMS would bring new voices and leaders into Drupal.

    Marking ready based on the internal core team discussion, some of which is reflected above :)

    +1 here as well, I have not worked with Emma directly but I have seen and heard encouraging things coming out of Drupal CMS and think she would be a valuable addition to the team

    However, setting this back to active as there is no MR, we need a patch against MAINTAINERS.txt.
