## Becoming a Maintainer
|
|
|
|
Besu welcomes community contribution.
|
|
Each community member may progress to become a maintainer.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to become a maintainer:
|
|
|
|
- Contribute significantly to the code in this repository.
|
|
- Contribute significantly to the doc or being recognized as great help by other contributors.
|
|
|
|
### Code maintainers contribution requirement
|
|
|
|
The requirement to be able to be proposed as a code maintainer is:
|
|
|
|
- 5 significant changes on code have been authored in this repos by the proposed maintainer and accepted (merged PRs).
|
|
|
|
### Other maintainers contribution requirement
|
|
|
|
The requirements to be able to be proposed as a non-code maintainer are:
|
|
|
|
- 5 significant changes on documentation have been authored in this repos by the proposed maintainer and accepted (merged pull-requests (PR), excluding hyperledger/besu-doc repos contribution).
|
|
- or 5 significant support answers on official public channels that solved the user issue.
|
|
- or being recognised as a fully involved and significant help for issue triage and assignment or roadmap planning effort and code review by other maintainers.
|
|
There is no number defined for these criteria as the vote will decide if the criteria are valid.
|
|
|
|
### Maintainers approval process
|
|
|
|
For both types of maintainers, the following steps must occur for a contributor to be "upgraded" as a maintainer:
|
|
|
|
- The proposed maintainer meets the expectations for the targeted maintainership type (see [code](#code-maintainers-contribution-requirement) and [non code](#other-maintainers-contribution-requirement) types.)
|
|
- The proposed maintainer has the sponsorship of at least one other maintainer.
|
|
- This sponsoring maintainer will create a proposal PR modifying the list of
|
|
maintainers. (see [proposal PR template](#proposal-pr-template).)
|
|
- The proposed maintainer accepts the nomination and expresses a willingness
|
|
to be a long-term (more than 6 month) committer by adding a comment in the proposal PR.
|
|
- The PR will be communicated in all appropriate communication channels
|
|
including at least [Besu Rocket Chat](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/BESU/Rocket+Chat),
|
|
the [mailing list](https://lists.hyperledger.org/g/besu)
|
|
and any maintainer/community call.
|
|
- Approval by at least 3 current maintainers within two weeks of the proposal or
|
|
an absolute majority (half the total + 1) of current maintainers.
|
|
- Maintainers will vote by approving the proposal PR.
|
|
- No veto raised by another maintainer within the voting timeframe.
|
|
- All vetoes must be accompanied by a public explanation as a comment in the
|
|
proposal PR.
|
|
- The explanation of the veto must be reasonable and follow the [Besu code of conduct](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/display/BESU/Code+of+Conduct).
|
|
- A veto can be retracted, in that case the voting timeframe is reset and all approvals are removed.
|
|
- It is bad form to veto, retract, and veto again.
|
|
|
|
The proposed maintainer becomes a maintainer either:
|
|
|
|
- when two weeks have passed without veto since the third approval of the proposal PR,
|
|
- or an absolute majority of maintainers approved the proposal PR.
|
|
|
|
In either case, no maintainer raised and stood by 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.
|
|
|
|
As for adding a maintainer, the record and governance process for moving a
|
|
maintainer to emeritus status is recorded using review approval in the 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 always already has the required significant contributions.
|
|
There is no contribution prescription delay.
|
|
|
|
## Proposal PR template
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
I propose to add [maintainer github handle] as a Besu project maintainer.
|
|
|
|
<!-- for code contributors -->
|
|
[maintainer github handle] contributed with many high quality commits:
|
|
|
|
- [list significant achievements]
|
|
|
|
Here are [their past contributions on Besu project](https://github.com/hyperledger/besu/commits?author=[user github handle]).

|
|
<!-- for non-code contributors -->
|
|
[maintainer github handle] contributed with many high quality actions:
|
|
|
|
- [list significant actions]
