		[Rules.maintainers]

		title = "What is a maintainer?"

		text = """
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.
"""

		[Rules.adding-maintainers]

		title = "How are maintainers added?"

		text = """
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.

After a candidate has been announced, the existing maintainers are
given five business days to discuss the candidate, raise objections
and cast their vote. Candidates must be approved by at least 66% of
the current maintainers by adding their vote on the slack
channel. 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 candidate becomes a maintainer once the
pull request is merged.
"""

		[Rules.stepping-down-policy]

		title = "Stepping down policy"

		text = """
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.
"""

		[Rules.inactive-maintainers]

		title = "Removal of inactive maintainers"

		text = """
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.  The voting period is five
business days. Issues related to a maintainer's performance should be
discussed with them among the other maintainers so that they are not
surprised by a pull request removing them.
"""

		[Rules.DCO]

		title = "Helping contributors with the DCO"

		text = """
The [DCO or `Sign your work`](
https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-your-work)
requirement is not intended as a roadblock or speed bump.

Some BuildKit 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.
"""

		[Rules."no direct push"]

		title = "I'm a maintainer. Should I make pull requests too?"

		text = """
Yes. Nobody should ever push to master directly. All changes should be
made through a pull request.
