## Becoming a Maintainer
Besu welcomes community contribution.
Each community member may progress to become a maintainer.
How to become a maintainer:
- Contribute significantly to the code in this repository.
### Maintainers contribution requirement
The requirement to be able to be proposed as a maintainer is:
- 5 significant changes on code have been authored in this repos by the proposed maintainer and accepted (merged PRs).
### Maintainers approval process
The following steps must occur for a contributor to be "upgraded" as a maintainer:
- 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-contributors channel on Hyperledger Discord](https://discord.gg/hyperledger),
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 two reporting quarters, 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.
[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]).
Voting ends two weeks from today.
For more information on this process see the Becoming a Maintainer section in the MAINTAINERS.md file.
