Contributor tenure at admin-permissioned PR
Hyperlane's assessment for RD-F-116 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
Named GitHub public members tkporter (Trevor Porter) and yorhodes (Yorke Rhodes) are founding engineers with Celo backgrounds predating Hyperlane by 2022 — tenure is 3+ years at time of any 2025 admin-permissioned change. However, the specific author of the most recent admin-permissioned PR (e.g., ProxyAdmin v2 transfer, 2025-02-25) was not individually verified in this session. Yellow reflects partial evidence: founding engineers have strong tenure, but specific most-recent-admin-PR author not confirmed.
