+# GitHub Management Subproject Responsibilities
+
+This subproject will be responsible for:
+- Establishing policies, standards, and procedures for routine GitHub management
+  tasks, including but not limited to: org membership, org permissions, repo
+  creation/administration
+- Establishing a policy around "Org Owner" permissions, and grant/limit these
+  privileges accordingly
+- Establishing policies and best practices for bot accounts, service accounts,
+  webooks, and third-party integrations
+- Maintaining documentation related to the above
+- Establishing a "GitHub Administration team" that will oversee the execution of
+  GitHub management tasks (inviting new members to the org, creating repos,
+  executing moderation decisions, auditing permissions)
+- Working with other sigs and interested parties in the project to execute
+  GitHub tasks where required
+
+This subproject will explicitly not be responsible for:
+- Tooling and automation for GitHub (this falls under sig-testing, and the
+  sig-contributor-experience Contributor Workflow and Automation subproject)
+- Determining policies around which repos can get created (this falls under
+  sig-architecture and the steering committee)
+- Moderation policies and escalations on GitHub (this falls under the Moderation
+  subproject, the Code of Conduct committee, and the steering committee)
+- Contributor workflow within Kubernetes repos, e.g. mandated use of labels
+  (this falls under the guise of the subproject responsible for the repo, and
+  the Contributor Workflow and Automation subproject)
