COVID Green 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 at the discretion of the Lead Maintainers.

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 before a pull-request can be merged.
  8. SemVer-major changes in this repository must be merged by a lead maintainer.
  9. In case it is not possible to reach consensus in a pull-request, the decision is left to the lead maintainers team.

Releases

Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the Lead Maintainers. Do not bump version numbers in pull requests.
