Add a 'statement of intent' blurb to the top of MAINTAINERS. Split
the role of MAINTAINERS into advisory and strict parts. Introduce a
new LOCKS file to document enforced locked parts of the tree.
Strict locks are only added with core approval and will generally
have a renewal timeout.
Clarify that the source tree is a community effort, not a place to stake
out 'turf'.
This will be refined as needed.

The only strict review requirements +are granted by core. These are documented in src/LOCKS and enforced +by CVSROOT/approvers. + +The source tree is a community effort. However, some folks go to the +trouble of looking after particular areas of the tree. In return for +their active caretaking of the code it is polite to coordinate changes +with them. This is a list of people who have expressed an interest in +part of the code or listed their active caretaking role so that other +committers can easily find somebody who is familiar with it. The notes +should specify if there is a 3rd party source tree involved or other +things that should be kept in mind. + +However, this is not a 'big stick', it is an offer to help and a source +of guidance. It does not override the communal nature of the tree. +It is not a registry of 'turf' or private property. + subsystem login notes ----------------------------- mergemaster dougb Prefers to pre-approve commits |
