+# New Maintainer Playbook
+
+Stewards follow these instructions when onboarding a new maintainer for a spec.
+
+* [Add the maintainer to the C2SP/C2SP repository with Write permissions.](https://github.com/C2SP/C2SP/settings/access)
+* Add two lines to [CODEOWNERS](https://github.com/C2SP/C2SP/blob/main/CODEOWNERS).
+
+  ```
+  <slug>.md @<maintainer>
+  <slug>/   @<maintainer>
+  ```
+
+* If applicable, repeat the process for [the CCTV repository](https://github.com/C2SP/CCTV).
+* Send the following intro to the maintainer.
+
+  > Welcome to C2SP and thank you for maintaining a new spec!
+  >
+  > You now have access to approve and merge any PR to your spec (both the `.md` file in the
+  > root of the repository and anything under a directory named like your spec), as well as
+  > to manage the issue tracker. Please only take maintainer actions on issues related to your
+  > spec.
+  >
+  > Note that GitHub paths are not stable: please use the c2sp.org redirector when possible.
+  > `c2sp.org/<spec>` redirects to your spec, and `c2sp.org/CCTV/<spec>` redirects to
+  > the CCTV vectors.
+  > 
+  > Let us know if you encounter any issues.
