GOVERNANCE.md now names Chris Miller as the backup maintainer, adds the role to the roles table, and describes how the project continues if the maintainer can't: what the backup maintainer does in the first week, the access they already hold (write access to the repository, co-ownership of the crate and the maintainer's GitHub successor designation), and why no passwords or keys need to change hands.

What
GOVERNANCE.md now names Chris Miller (csm0513) as the backup maintainer:
Why
This covers the access_continuity criterion of the OpenSSF Best Practices silver badge: the project must be able to handle issues, accept changes and release within a week of losing any one person. The roles table also makes clear who holds each role, as roles_responsibilities asks.
