Scope of Maintainers

Maintainers are responsible for the overall health and quality of this project.
Their key responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing and merging pull requests
  • Ensuring that documentation remains clear, consistent, and aligned with OS2’s principles
  • Encouraging contributions and supporting new contributors
  • Coordinating releases or updates when relevant
  • Escalating strategic or governance-related decisions to the Board, management or other relevant bodies

Maintainers act as stewards of the project — ensuring it remains open, transparent, and true to its purpose.

Collaboration and Workflow

Maintainers work collaboratively using GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.
All significant changes should:

  • Be linked to an open issue
  • Receive at least one review from another maintainer or contributor before merging
  • Be described clearly in commit messages and pull request titles

When multiple maintainers are active, they share responsibilities for reviews, merges, and release coordination.

Becoming a Maintainer

To become a maintainer of this project, you should demonstrate:

  • Sustained engagement — consistent participation through issues, discussions, or pull requests
  • Good judgment — alignment with OS2’s open, transparent, and collaborative values
  • Constructive communication — helping others improve their contributions

Once ready, request maintainer status by opening an issue or contacting an existing maintainer.

Removal or Transition Process

Maintainers may be moved to emeritus status under the following circumstances:

  • Extended inactivity (e.g., 6 months or more)
  • Repeated lack of response to issues or pull requests
  • Personal request to step down

Changes to maintainer status are made through open discussion and consensus among current maintainers.

For any questions or concerns regarding maintainership, please reach out to one of the maintainers listed above.
