Welcome Kumar Aditya as a new maintainer
Hi all, Please join me in welcoming Kumar (https://github.com/kumaraditya303) to the NumPy maintainers team. Kumar is a CPython core developer where he helps maintain asyncio and has been actively working on areas across the interpreter, including the JIT and issues on the free-threaded build. Over the past six months he has been contributing to NumPy to improve performance on the free-threaded build and enable downstream projects to use Python 3.15's new free-threaded stable ABI. I hope that Kumar's deep expertise in CPython internals and the C API can help us improve the codebase. Among other things, he's currently thinking about a view-tracking system for NumPy, to enable truly safe concurrent sharing of ndarrays and buffer protocol buffers. Thank you for your continued contributions Kumar! -Nathan
