This document defines project governance for the Strimzi project.
The maintainers are identified in the MAINTAINERS file.
The Strimzi project employs voting to ensure no single member can dominate the project. Any maintainer may cast a vote.
For formal votes, a specific statement of what is being voted on should be added to the relevant github issue or PR. Maintainers should indicate their yes/no vote on that issue or PR, and after a suitable period of time, the votes will be tallied and the outcome noted.
New maintainers are proposed by an existing maintainer and are elected by a ⅔ majority vote.
Maintainers can be removed by a ⅔ majority vote.
PRs may be merged after receiving at least two positive votes. If the PR author is a maintainer, this counts as a vote.
Maintainers will be added to the collaborators list of the Strimzi repository with "Write" access.
After 6 months a maintainer will be given "Admin" access to the Strimzi repository.
All changes in Governance require a ⅔ majority vote.
Unless specified above, all other changes to the project require a ⅔ majority vote. Additionally, any maintainer may request that any change require a ⅔ majority vote.
