I suggest to add @matkt, as a member of Protocol Guild. Karim was previously part of the guild but left.
Karim has been working on Besu since July 11, 2019
https://github.com/PegaSysEng/pantheon/commits?author=matkt
https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/commits?author=matkt
He has primarily worked on Besu’s state, particularly Bonsai, snapsync and has significantly improved client performance by developing parallel EVM execution ahead of BAL, implementing state trie preloading during execution, and delivering other state-related optimizations.
He also implemented several key features, such as the Fleet plugin, which enables better scalability of the RPC part. He is currently working on optimizing the computation of the state root in Besu in order to reduce block processing time.
In addition, he manages, organizes, and reviews the work around BAL, helping with task coordination and communication with contributors involved in the effort.
He is also involved in work related to binary tries, witness generation for stateless execution, and related areas
