Take the results into account before merging. +Commit rights +------------- + +Commit rights will be granted to anyone who requests them and fulfills the +below criteria: + +- Submitted a few (5-10 as a rule of thumb) non-trivial (not just simple + spelling fixes and whitespace adjustment) patches that have been merged + already. + +- Are actively participating on discussions about their work (on the mailing + list or IRC). This should not be interpreted as a requirement to review other + peoples patches but just make sure that patch submission isn't one-way + communication. Cross-review is still highly encouraged. + +- Will be regularly contributing further patches. This includes regular + contributors to other parts of the open source graphics stack who only + do the oddball rare patch within igt itself. + +- Agrees to use their commit rights in accordance with the documented merge + criteria, tools, and processes. + +Apply for an account (and any other account change requests) through + +https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests/ + +and please ping the maintainers if your request is stuck. + +Committers are encouraged to request their commit rights get removed when they +no longer contribute to the project. Commit rights will be reinstated when they +come back to the project. + +Maintainers and committers should encourage contributors to request commit +rights, especially junior contributors tend to underestimate their skills. + +Code of Conduct +--------------- + +Please be aware the fd.o Code of Conduct also applies to igt: + +https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct/ + +See the MAINTAINERS file for contact details of the igt maintainers. + +Abuse of commit rights, like engaging in commit fights or willfully pushing +patches that violate the documented merge criteria, will also be handled through +the Code of Conduct enforcement process. + Happy hacking! |
