How to become Maintainer for Lineage OS?

Hello,
I want to become maintainer for Lineage OS for specific device (I will buy the device to maintain).
Could someone plz explain me the process of becoming the maintainer and pre-requisites for it?
I had a look at teamoctos/join-our-team/ but it will be helpful if someone explains all those steps in it.

Thanks

I'm not sure about this but however:
First of all you will have to build device tree for that device (I guess that device isn't supported at the moment, if is than you can contribute to that repo on github via pull requests and wait for them to approve change) and that device tree works without lethal bugs. Also you'll need kernel that won't make you much troubles because manufacturer probably published sources (they had to). And when you make it work than you can try to conntact them about joining team, if they accept new devs, because I read somwhere about how to make CM support device officialy they mention only they support devices they own, they not mention anything about joining team if I remember well. It's best that you conntact them and ask I'm sure there is way for that.

Unless a specific thread states otherwise (which will provide you with the individual or location to do so), the XDA Forums isn't where you request this.
Regarding the Official LineageOS, though, the XDA Forums isn't where you request this either, here's the only location (at this time) to where you can find what you're looking for.
1) Go to the following link:
http://wiki.lineageos.org/faq.html
2) Scroll down to the following question (without quotes):
"My device is not officially supported, but I’d really like to give LineageOS a try. Can you support my device?"
3) It is there that you'll find the information you're looking for as well as the E-Mail address to where you can send them the information.
Good Luck!

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Important Lineage and LineageOS Info You May Not Know About...

I would like to pass along some of my knowledge that can be extremely helpful to know.
I would like to point out the value of the Official Lineage Wiki.
The link, below, has a list of All the links to the Content, within the Wiki, to include the various information for all the devices that, so far, has had any type of LineageOS releases:
All Content for LineageOS
Now I'll point out just some of the device specific information within that Wiki link specific to your issues.
First) Within that Wiki link, Just locate your device beginning with the words "Install Lineage on".
Second) Within the page that you had located, i would like to highlight a specific step with the words "(Optional): Root the device by installing the LineageOS su add-on or using any other method you prefer."
Finally) Just follow the instructions and be sure to pay attention to include that specific step i had pointed out above.
Locating Lineage Help and Support
---------------------------------------------------------
If you have any issues (and I'm sure that many may run into something) then go back to the Wiki All Content link above and you'll find many other links. Some of the titled include (but, not limited to) the following:
1) Logcat
2) LineageOS Contributors
(Highlighted below)
3) Frequently Asked Questions
4) How to submit a bug report
ETC... ETC... ETC...
Final (and important) highlight
--------------------------------------------------
A specific highlight I'd like to bring to your attention is the "LineageOS Contributors".
The Contributors link is a list of ALL the individuals that encompasses the Lineage's Development team.
The list is all broken down by categories and subcategories.
The Device specific developers, also known as "Device maintainers", are listed by their specific device they're responsible for the development of.
Lastly, i would also like to point out that the LineageOS Contributors link also lists individuals that are higher on the chain of responsibility.
Some are known/listed as:
1) Trusted Reviewers
2) Committers
3) Developer Relations Managers
4) Requesting LineageOS for your device
ETC... ETC... ETC...
Now I hope that passing this along was helpful to everyone and I do wish you all the best of luck!
Peace and Love!
Peace and Love!

Proper way to request features or report bugs?

What is the proper way to request features or report bugs for a given ROM (e.g. Xiaomi Mix 2). I saw a maintainer name was listed but there's no way to contact him.

If you go to the following LineageOS link...
https://download.lineageos.org/chiron
... at the top of the page (under the words "Builds for chiron"), select the "Device info" and it takes you to the following link...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/chiron
... scroll to the bottom portion of that page and the listed "Maintainers" reflects "@mikeioannina" as the Official Lineage Team Maintainer for your device.
Fortunately, this individual has the same member name, as follows, on XDA as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3839575
With that stated...
The only thing that I can guide you to is the following Official Lineage Link that reflects a way to either Contribute and where to ask for support.
https://www.lineageos.org/community/
You now have all the information on where/how to contact the Lineage Team and the individual via XDA and the above link.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...
Good Luck!

Is the discord group still around?

It's odd that Telegram links are still spammed across the forum but Discord isn't permitted. If someone has the link send it my way in PM I guess. I don't really agree with the removal of links promoting development here. XDA is already relatively barren anymore (and it's not because of Discord lol)

can you please send me the Discord Group link ? thanks
