Bitcoin Core maintainers are a trusted small group of developers responsible for code review, approval of updates, and digitally signing official releases with their keys. Zhao has contributed to Bitcoin Core development for over six years, but her work did not involve changing Bitcoin’s underlying protocol rules. Zhao did not comment on her specific reasons for leaving.
