This pull request is to add Stelios Voutsinas as a co-maintainer of astropy.io.votable. Stelios has a long track record with PyVO and Astropy, having submitted a number of valuable contributions to better VOTable. I am very happy that he has agreed to officially join as a maintainer.

Two-week comment period starts today and theoretically ends on 2026-10-14. Ref: https://groups.google.com/g/astropy-dev/c/Utcl0ZrB-4M

I just want to clarify that this is not mutually exclusive with #740 . Each should be discussed separately on its own. I will accept my punishment in resolving conflicts, so don't worry about that.

@stvoutsin, please be sure to comment here or if you prefer, contact a member of the CoCo indicating that you are willing to accept this nomination. (At least, so far, we don't press people into maintainership without their consent 😉)

Thanks @pllim for the nomination, and @eteq for the nudge!
I'm happy to accept and would be glad to join as a co-maintainer of astropy.io.votable. Looking forward to continuing the work on VOTable, keeping it up to date with the IVOA standards and helping out with reviews and issues going forward.

I think he did accept via email earlier. Did CoCo not get it in the mailing list?

Yes, sorry, I see that that came in just before I left the message above - at the time I didn't think to check the mailing list 🐑 . But still good to have clarity in the issue here too!
