Butler is an OPEN Open Source Project

What?

Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given commit-access to the project to contribute as they see fit. This project is more like an open wiki than a standard guarded open source project.

Rules

There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:

  1. No --force pushes on master or modifying the Git history in any way after a PR has been merged.
  2. Non-master branches ought to be used for ongoing work.
  3. External API changes and significant modifications ought to be subject to an internal pull-request to solicit feedback from other contributors.
  4. Internal pull-requests to solicit feedback are encouraged for any other non-trivial contribution but left to the discretion of the contributor.
  5. Contributors should attempt to adhere to the prevailing code-style.
  6. At least two contributors, or one core member, must approve pull-requests prior to merging.
  7. All integrated CI services must be green, unless an agreement has been reached in the conversation about the exception, before a pull-request can be merged.
  8. Breaking changes or significant new features must be merged by a core member. Small pull-requests, e.g. documentation typo corrections, may be merged by any member with commit access.

Releases

Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainers.

Changes to this arrangement

This is an experiment and feedback is welcome! This document may also be subject to pull-requests or changes by contributors where you believe you have something valuable to add or change.
