Remove usability maintainers from core given recent introduction of UX Manager

+1 in here too. Thanks for following on this Gábor!

I'm not sure we can commit this as-is because it's effectively removing a role from the project govnernance, but without a corresponding change to the project governance and all its references to usability topic maintainers.

Also, what becomes of the usability core gate? There is a 1:1 correspondence between the gates and the topic maintainers, by design. Do the UX managers enforce the gate despite that their role should theoretically have broader responsibilties? Also, the usability topic maintainers might not be active other than Cristina, but the usability team still functions as a way to provide UX feedback for core issues.

So apparently https://www.drupal.org/project/governance/issues/3523086 📌 Define relationship of UX Manager and Usability topic maintainers RTBC was fixed but https://project.pages.drupalcode.org/governance/core/drupal-core/#whats-... does not show the changes. Interesting.

On the topic maintainer question, @gábor hojtsy said in Slack:

The governance doc is not where the core gates are defined :slightly_smiling_face: Frontend already did not have a topic maintainer, it was handled on the FFM level.

Cross-posting from Slack. I guess the one thing we probably still need then is docs updates, including updates to https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/issues/fields-and-other-parts-of-an-... → and other places it's too "39 C heat index Saturday" for me to think of right now. :) That probably should have blocked the governance issue, not this one, but this is the one still open. Thanks!

Have the UX managers had a chance to reach out to the usability team? Maybe the usability team could help us with docs updates?

The issue with the GitLab pages still having the stuff about usability topic maintainers was the result of an incomplete merge, which I've now fixed. :) So this is only about the handbook docs.

📌 Remove yoroy as maintainer for Usability Active reminded me that we should also at least contact Bojhan before we do this. (Roy has already stepped down from the role and Cristina is obviously moving on from it to the UX Manager role.)

The Needs Review Queue Bot → tested this issue. It no longer applies to Drupal core. Therefore, this issue status is now "Needs work".

This does not mean that the patch necessarily needs to be re-rolled or the MR rebased. Read the Issue Summary, the issue tags and the latest discussion here to determine what needs to be done.

Consult the Drupal Contributor Guide → to find step-by-step guides for working with issues.

I spoke to @ckrina a bit about this in Slack and I think we should postpone this issue pending another governance issue. We might end up with no active individuals in this role currently, but we might still want to add it back to the governance. Usability topic maintainers would provide support in a single subset of the governance domains covered by the much higher-level strategy owned by the UX managers, similar to how a subsystem maintainer provides architectural decision-making for a single subsystem while a framework manager provides that decision-making when multiple subsystems are affected. Governance followup hopefully forthcoming.
