Maintainer Diversity

As of writing the Iroha 2 core development team consists of:

• 8 Rust developers + 1 tech lead
• 1 front-end developer
• 2 full-time QA engineers (functional and load testing/benchmarking)
• 1 full-time technical writer
• 1 full-time DevOps
• 1 community manager, who also handles front-end, back-end, DevOps and writing tasks as needed
