See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#decision-making-process:
Whether a pull request is merged into Bitcoin Core rests with the project merge maintainers.
Maintainers will take into consideration if a patch is in line with the general principles of the project; meets the minimum standards for inclusion; and will judge the general consensus of contributors.
Any maintainer can approve merges. See Is there a list of core Bitcoin committers? for a list of maintainers.

Have the Lead Maintainers divided up the code base into sections of responsibility? – Eoin McQuinn Aug 16 '23 at 12:26

1Most maintainers have their own focus area. There is no lead maintainer. – Pieter Wuille Aug 16 '23 at 13:33

What are those focus areas? – Eoin McQuinn Aug 16 '23 at 15:05

1Read the linked answer. It's not entirely up-to-date (as pointed out in the comment there), but repeating things here will just result in more places that go out of date over time. – Pieter Wuille Aug 16 '23 at 15:08
