[Community] Nominate new maintainers: @yiz-liu @paulyu12 @weijinqian0 @nalinaly (#3406)

I'd like to nominate 4 new maintainers for vllm-ascend: 

----

Yizhou Liu [@yiz-liu](https://github.com/yiz-liu)
----

**Review Quality‌**: He has completed [40+
reviews](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pulls?q=is%3Apr+commenter%3Ayiz-liu)
and provided solutions or guides for [10+
issues](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20commenter%3Ayiz-liu),
which includes many quality review like
[#issue-3428408401](#3002 (comment)),
[#discussion_r2224572309](#1803 (comment)),
[#issuecomment-2982470226](#1261 (comment)),
[#issuecomment-2903621197](#836 (comment)),
[#issuecomment-2857678691](#778 (comment)).

**Sustained and High-Quality Contributions:** He has contributed more
than [30+
commits](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/commits?author=yiz-liu)
since Mar.2025, especially, aclgraph, DP, and EP related contributions
are the main reason why I nominated him. As the owner of aclgraph
support, he continuously improves aclgraph stability and performance as
well as fixes key bugs. he laid the groundwork for EP-related
functionality and delivered multiple foundational improvements

**Community involvement:** He has a very good habit of logging
issues：#1649 and is
also very active and involved in [many
issues](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20commenter%3Ayiz-liu%20-author%3Ayiz-liu)
to help users resolve issues.

----

Peng Yu  [@paulyu12](https://github.com/paulyu12)
---
The main reasons for his nomination are his expertise and key
contributions to the LORA and sustained and major contributions (initial
support/doc/bugfix) around Lora.

**Sustained and Major Contributions:** @paulyu12 starts his contribution
with [Lora and Mulit-Lora
support](697908f)
since Apr 2025, he contributed about [10+ commits and
bugfixes](697908f)
on vllm-ascend.
**Review Quality‌ and Community Involvement‌:** He also helped more than
10+ users address [Lora related
issues](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pulls?q=is%3Apr+commenter%3Apaulyu12+-author%3Apaulyu12+is%3Aclosed).

I believe his addition will further improve vLLM Ascend Lora support.

----

Jinqian Wei [@weijinqian0](https://github.com/weijinqian0)
---
The main reasons for his nomination are his key contributions to the RL
scene and the high quality of his code reviews.

**Review Quality‌:** He has completed [60+
reviews](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pulls?q=is%3Apr+commenter%3Aweijinqian0+is%3Aopen+-author%3Aweijinqian0)
since June. 2025, include
[#comment-3284055430](#2791 (comment)),
[discussion_r2332166704](#2817 (comment)),
[discussion_r2343289692](#2846 (comment))
high quality review.

**Sustained and Quality Contributions:** He has Deep understanding of
‌vLLM‌ and ‌vLLM Ascend‌ codebases and solid contributions in RL scene
(about [10+ PR
merged](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aweijinqian0+is%3Amerged+)
and 10+ PRs merged as co-author.

- Code Refactor: As a co-author, he participated in the refactoring of
the MOE module #2150
#2706
#2867
- Performance Enhancement for RL: Participated as a co-author in the
design and development of the solution, contributing to the planning of
core capabilities. #1547
#2120 and so on.

So I think he's a great addition to the vLLM Ascend Maintainer team.

----

Chuanyu Qin  [@nalinaly](https://github.com/nalinaly)
---
The main reason I nominated Qinchuanyu is because he is the initial
designer of aclgraph and torch-npu, two key components of vllm-ascend.
Considering aclgraph will eventually become the main path for
vllm-ascend's graph model, I propose to nominate him.

**Sustained and Major Contributions:** In fact, chuanyu actively helped
the users/developers of vllm-ascend since Mar 2025
([vllm-discuss#162](https://discuss.vllm.ai/t/can-ascend-officially-draft-a-documentation-on-the-vllm-ascend-adaptation-for-graph-mode/162/5)),
and also helped early users of vllm-ascend understand aclgraph. He
provided lots of help in the process of integrating aclgraph with
vllm-ascend.

**Community Involvement‌:** As speaker, he also presents help users
understand aclgraph and torch_npu [《The design philosophy of torch_npu
and the high performance principle of
aclGraph》](https://github.com/PyTorch-China/pytorch-meetup/blob/main/beijing-2025/%E3%80%905%E3%80%91torch_npu%20%E7%9A%84%E8%AE%BE%E8%AE%A1%E5%93%B2%E5%AD%A6%E4%B8%8E%20aclGraph%20%E9%AB%98%E6%80%A7%E8%83%BD%E5%8E%9F%E7%90%86-%E7%A7%A6%E4%BC%A0%E7%91%9C-0920.pdf)

----

They have activate contribution to vllm-ascend or have rich experience
for ascend AI.
