## Becoming a Maintainer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Besu welcomes community contribution. Community members may progress to become a
|
|
|
|
|
maintainer. To become a maintainer the following steps occur, roughly in order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 5 significant changes have been authored by the proposed maintainer and
|
|
|
|
|
accepted.
|
|
|
|
|
- The proposed maintainer has the sponsorship of at least one other maintainer.
|
|
|
|
|
- This sponsoring maintainer will create a PR modifying the list of
|
|
|
|
|
maintainers.
|
|
|
|
|
- The proposed maintainer accepts the nomination and expresses a willingness
|
|
|
|
|
to be a long-term (more than 6 month) committer.
|
|
|
|
|
- This would be a comment in the above PR.
|
|
|
|
|
- This PR will be communicated in all appropriate communication channels. It
|
|
|
|
|
should be mentioned in any maintainer/community call. It should also be
|
|
|
|
|
posted to the appropriate mailing list or chat channels if they exist.
|
|
|
|
|
- Approval by at least 3 current maintainers within two weeks of the proposal or
|
|
|
|
|
an absolute majority of current maintainers.
|
|
|
|
|
- These votes will be recorded in the PR modifying the list of maintainers.
|
|
|
|
|
- No veto by another maintainer within two weeks of proposal are recorded.
|
|
|
|
|
- All vetoes must be accompanied by a public explanation as a comment in the
|
|
|
|
|
PR for adding this maintainer
|
|
|
|
|
- The explanation of the veto must be reasonable.
|
|
|
|
|
- A veto can be retracted, in that case the approval/veto timeframe is reset.
|
|
|
|
|
- It is bad form to veto, retract, and veto again.
|
|
|
|
|
- The proposed maintainer becomes a maintainer
|
|
|
|
|
- Either two weeks have passed since the third approval,
|
|
|
|
|
- Or an absolute majority of maintainers approve.
|
|
|
|
|
- In either case, no maintainer presents a veto.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Removing Maintainers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being a maintainer is not a status symbol or a title to be maintained
|
|
|
|
|
indefinitely. It will occasionally be necessary and appropriate to move a
|
|
|
|
|
maintainer to emeritus status. This can occur in the following situations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Resignation of a maintainer.
|
|
|
|
|
- Violation of the Code of Conduct warranting removal.
|
|
|
|
|
- Inactivity.
|
|
|
|
|
- A general measure of inactivity will be no commits or code review comments
|
|
|
|
|
for one reporting quarter, although this will not be strictly enforced if
|
|
|
|
|
the maintainer expresses a reasonable intent to continue contributing.
|
|
|
|
|
- Reasonable exceptions to inactivity will be granted for known long term
|
|
|
|
|
leave such as parental leave and medical leave.
|
|
|
|
|
- Other unspecified circumstances.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like adding a maintainer the record and governance process for moving a
|
|
|
|
|
maintainer to emeritus status is recorded in the github PR making that change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Returning to active status from emeritus status uses the same steps as adding a
|
|
|
|
|
new maintainer. Note that the emeritus maintainer already has the 5 required
|
|
|
|
|
significant changes as there is no contribution time horizon for those.
