Expectations of Maintainers

Maintainers are expected to regularly:

  • Make contributions to FireFly code repositories including code or documentation
  • Review pull requests
  • Investigate open GitHub issues
  • Participate in Community Calls

Becoming a Maintainer

The FireFly Project welcomes and encourages people to become maintainers of the project if they are interested and meet the following criteria:

Criteria for becoming a member

  • Expressed interest and commitment to meet the expectations of a maintainer for at least 6 months
  • A consistent track record of contributions to FireFly code repositories which could be:
    • Enhancements
    • Bug fixes
    • Tests
    • Documentation
  • A consistent track record of helpful code reviews on FireFly code repositories
  • Regular participation in Community Calls
  • A demonstrated interest and aptitude in thought leadership within the FireFly Project
  • Sponsorship from an existing maintainer

There is no specific quantity of contributions or pull requests, or a specific time period over which the candidate must prove their track record. This will be left up to the discretion of the existing maintainers.

Process for becoming a maintainer

Once the above criteria have been met, the sponsoring maintainer shall propose the addition of the new maintainer at a public Community Call. Existing maintainers shall vote at the next public Community Call whether the new maintainer should be added or not. Proxy votes may be submitted via email before the meeting. A simple majority of the existing maintainers is required for the vote to pass.

Maintainer resignation

While maintainers are expected in good faith to be committed to the project for a significant period of time, they are under no binding obligation to do so. Maintainers may resign at any time for any reason. If a maintainer wishes to resign they shall open a pull request to update the maintainers list removing themselves from the list.

Maintainer inactivity

If a maintainer has remained inactive (not meeting the expectations of a maintainer) for a period of time (at least several months), an email should be sent to that maintainer noting their inactivity and asking if they still wish to be a maintainer. If they continue to be inactive after being notified via email, an existing maintainer may propose to remove the inactive maintainer at a public Community Call. Existing maintainers shall vote at the next public Community Call whether the inactive maintainer should be removed or not. Proxy votes may be submitted via email before the meeting. A simple majority of the existing maintainers is required for the vote to pass.
