# distribution/reference Project Governance
|
|
|
|
Distribution [Code of Conduct](./CODE-OF-CONDUCT.md) can be found here.
|
|
|
|
For specific guidance on practical contribution steps please
|
|
see our [CONTRIBUTING.md](./CONTRIBUTING.md) guide.
|
|
|
|
## Maintainership
|
|
|
|
There are different types of maintainers, with different responsibilities, but
|
|
all maintainers have 3 things in common:
|
|
|
|
1) They share responsibility in the project's success.
|
|
2) They have made a long-term, recurring time investment to improve the project.
|
|
3) They spend that time doing whatever needs to be done, not necessarily what
|
|
is the most interesting or fun.
|
|
|
|
Maintainers are often under-appreciated, because their work is harder to appreciate.
|
|
It's easy to appreciate a really cool and technically advanced feature. It's harder
|
|
to appreciate the absence of bugs, the slow but steady improvement in stability,
|
|
or the reliability of a release process. But those things distinguish a good
|
|
project from a great one.
|
|
|
|
## Reviewers
|
|
|
|
A reviewer is a core role within the project.
|
|
They share in reviewing issues and pull requests and their LGTM counts towards the
|
|
required LGTM count to merge a code change into the project.
|
|
|
|
Reviewers are part of the organization but do not have write access.
|
|
Becoming a reviewer is a core aspect in the journey to becoming a maintainer.
|
|
|
|
## Adding maintainers
|
|
|
|
Maintainers are first and foremost contributors that have shown they are
|
|
committed to the long term success of a project. Contributors wanting to become
|
|
maintainers are expected to be deeply involved in contributing code, pull
|
|
request review, and triage of issues in the project for more than three months.
|
|
|
|
Just contributing does not make you a maintainer, it is about building trust
|
|
with the current maintainers of the project and being a person that they can
|
|
depend on and trust to make decisions in the best interest of the project.
|
|
|
|
Periodically, the existing maintainers curate a list of contributors that have
|
|
shown regular activity on the project over the prior months. From this list,
|
|
maintainer candidates are selected and proposed in a pull request or a
|
|
maintainers communication channel.
|
|
|
|
After a candidate has been announced to the maintainers, the existing
|
|
maintainers are given five business days to discuss the candidate, raise
|
|
objections and cast their vote. Votes may take place on the communication
|
|
channel or via pull request comment. Candidates must be approved by at least 66%
|
|
of the current maintainers by adding their vote on the mailing list. The
|
|
reviewer role has the same process but only requires 33% of current maintainers.
|
|
Only maintainers of the repository that the candidate is proposed for are
|
|
allowed to vote.
|
|
|
|
If a candidate is approved, a maintainer will contact the candidate to invite
|
|
the candidate to open a pull request that adds the contributor to the
|
|
MAINTAINERS file. The voting process may take place inside a pull request if a
|
|
maintainer has already discussed the candidacy with the candidate and a
|
|
maintainer is willing to be a sponsor by opening the pull request. The candidate
|
|
becomes a maintainer once the pull request is merged.
|
|
|
|
## Stepping down policy
|
|
|
|
Life priorities, interests, and passions can change. If you're a maintainer but
|
|
feel you must remove yourself from the list, inform other maintainers that you
|
|
intend to step down, and if possible, help find someone to pick up your work.
|
|
At the very least, ensure your work can be continued where you left off.
|
|
|
|
After you've informed other maintainers, create a pull request to remove
|
|
yourself from the MAINTAINERS file.
|
|
|
|
## Removal of inactive maintainers
|
|
|
|
Similar to the procedure for adding new maintainers, existing maintainers can
|
|
be removed from the list if they do not show significant activity on the
|
|
project. Periodically, the maintainers review the list of maintainers and their
|
|
activity over the last three months.
|
|
|
|
If a maintainer has shown insufficient activity over this period, a neutral
|
|
person will contact the maintainer to ask if they want to continue being
|
|
a maintainer. If the maintainer decides to step down as a maintainer, they
|
|
open a pull request to be removed from the MAINTAINERS file.
|
|
|
|
If the maintainer wants to remain a maintainer, but is unable to perform the
|
|
required duties they can be removed with a vote of at least 66% of the current
|
|
maintainers. In this case, maintainers should first propose the change to
|
|
maintainers via the maintainers communication channel, then open a pull request
|
|
for voting. The voting period is five business days. The voting pull request
|
|
should not come as a surpise to any maintainer and any discussion related to
|
|
performance must not be discussed on the pull request.
|
|
|
|
## How are decisions made?
|
|
|
|
Docker distribution is an open-source project with an open design philosophy.
|
|
This means that the repository is the source of truth for EVERY aspect of the
|
|
project, including its philosophy, design, road map, and APIs. *If it's part of
|
|
the project, it's in the repo. If it's in the repo, it's part of the project.*
|
|
|
|
As a result, all decisions can be expressed as changes to the repository. An
|
|
implementation change is a change to the source code. An API change is a change
|
|
to the API specification. A philosophy change is a change to the philosophy
|
|
manifesto, and so on.
|
|
|
|
All decisions affecting distribution, big and small, follow the same 3 steps:
|
|
|
|
* Step 1: Open a pull request. Anyone can do this.
|
|
|
|
* Step 2: Discuss the pull request. Anyone can do this.
|
|
|
|
* Step 3: Merge or refuse the pull request. Who does this depends on the nature
|
|
of the pull request and which areas of the project it affects.
|
|
|
|
## Helping contributors with the DCO
|
|
|
|
The [DCO or `Sign your work`](./CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-your-work)
|
|
requirement is not intended as a roadblock or speed bump.
|
|
|
|
Some contributors are not as familiar with `git`, or have used a web
|
|
based editor, and thus asking them to `git commit --amend -s` is not the best
|
|
way forward.
|
|
|
|
In this case, maintainers can update the commits based on clause (c) of the DCO.
|
|
The most trivial way for a contributor to allow the maintainer to do this, is to
|
|
add a DCO signature in a pull requests's comment, or a maintainer can simply
|
|
note that the change is sufficiently trivial that it does not substantially
|
|
change the existing contribution - i.e., a spelling change.
|
|
|
|
When you add someone's DCO, please also add your own to keep a log.
|
|
|
|
## I'm a maintainer. Should I make pull requests too?
|
|
|
|
Yes. Nobody should ever push to master directly. All changes should be
|
|
made through a pull request.
|
|
|
|
## Conflict Resolution
|
|
|
|
If you have a technical dispute that you feel has reached an impasse with a
|
|
subset of the community, any contributor may open an issue, specifically
|
|
calling for a resolution vote of the current core maintainers to resolve the
|
|
dispute. The same voting quorums required (2/3) for adding and removing
|
|
maintainers will apply to conflict resolution.
