all the credentials necessary to access, run and maintain all elements

Keyholders are also trusted with credentials for all necessary external services
used by our infrastructure.

The set of keyholders is as small as possible to ensure security,
and as large as necessary to guarantee perennial availability of our services.

Our major, long-term sponsors can nominate one or more of their staff members to
be Keyholders.

Current Keyholders:

* Prof. `Jean-Sébastien Caux <https://jscaux.org>`_ (jscaux@scipost.org / prof@jscaux.org / J.S.Caux@uva.nl) [University of Amsterdam]
* Jorran de Wit (jorrandewit@scipost.org)


Deployment Team
===============

Members of the Deployment Team are responsible for the day-to-day
maintenance and running of all of SciPost's online infrastructure,
including bug fixes and issues tracking.

By necessity, all Deployment Team members are keyholders (the inverse is not
necessarily true).

* Prof. `Jean-Sébastien Caux <https://jscaux.org>`_ (jscaux@scipost.org / prof@jscaux.org / J.S.Caux@uva.nl) [University of Amsterdam]
