Nominate @LunNova

[infinisil]

Migrating nomination from #50 (comment) as part of switching to PR-based process: #34

I nominate @LunNova for commit access. Luna is currently the most active maintainer on the ROCm (compute on AMD GPUs) package set which, since earlier this month, gets redistributed via cache.nixos.org! I have found her to be very capable when dealing with the enormous size of these packages and in her communication with upstream. Other notable contributions are the PIE enablement on packages built with GCC and the Go compiler.

Luna has 94 merged PRs and close to 300 reviewed PRs. She started contributing in 2022, but really ramped up her contributions in 2025.

I am confident that nixpkgs will benefit from granting LunNova commit privileges. I enjoy interacting with her!

I’ve worked with @LunNova on finally enabling PIE by default, CMake 4 fixes, and LLVM packaging changes relating to ROCm. I’ve found her to be highly skilled, easy to collaborate with, good at diving into unfamiliar issues across diverse areas quickly, and to have good taste for maintainable solutions. I strongly endorse her for commit access.

She has been very helpful in working with me on minimal-bootstrap, and from what I have seen around nixpkgs, her contributions are always high-quality. Nixpkgs would benefit quite a lot from having her as a committer.

While I believe they definitely won't need it, I'm willing to be a mentor for @LunNova as they on-board to the commit bit responsibility.

[LunNova]

Thanks for the endorsements! If applied I expect to start out by using commit bit within the machine learning ecosystem and especially the ROCm package set. I'm not sure I have the necessary experience and good judgement in general, but am confident in those areas.

Feel free to always ask us more experienced committers if you need some help or want a second opinion on something ^^

Approved. Thank you for your contributions!

Please feel free to reach out to @emilazy, who has also volunteered to be a mentor, if you run into any situations you’re uncertain about.
