Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) are how Ethereum upgrades itself. EIP Editors have extra permissions on the EIP repository in exchange for extra responsibilities within the Ethereum community.

Responsibilities as an EIP Editor include:

• Making sure EIPs are well-formatted and technically complete.
• Working with authors to get new EIPs into the repo.
• Ensure EIPs submitted are related to Ethereum.
• Merge EIPs the auto-merger bot misses.
