Governance Policy

This document describes the governance and decision-making process for the @theholocron organization.

Roles and Responsibilities

Maintainers

Maintainers are responsible for the overall direction, operation, and well-being of the project. They have the authority to merge code, make significant technical decisions, and resolve disputes.

Responsibilities:

  • Ensure high-quality contributions.
  • Review and merge pull requests.
  • Define and enforce code standards and project guidelines.
  • Manage releases and versioning.
  • Ensure the project remains active, welcoming, and inclusive.

Contributors

Contributors are community members who participate in the project by submitting code, documentation, or other improvements via pull requests.

Responsibilities:

  • Follow project contribution guidelines.
  • Submit pull requests for review.
  • Participate in discussions to help resolve issues and plan features.

Committers

Committers are contributors with write access to the repository. They can merge their own or others’ changes after peer review, ensuring that they follow the guidelines.

Decision-Making Process

Decisions are made in a collaborative, consensus-based manner, with input from all maintainers and contributors. We aim for agreement, but in cases of disagreement, the following process applies:

  1. Proposal: A proposal is created in the form of an issue or pull request. It should clearly outline the problem, solution, and any potential impacts.
  2. Discussion: Community members and maintainers discuss the proposal in the issue or pull request thread.
  3. Review: Maintainers and committers review the discussion and offer feedback or approvals.
  4. Decision:
    • If consensus is reached, the proposal is accepted and merged.
    • If there is no clear consensus, maintainers will make the final decision, considering community input.

Code of Conduct

All members must adhere to the project’s Code of Conduct. Violations will be handled by maintainers based on the severity and impact.

Conflict Resolution

In the case of disagreements or disputes, the maintainers will seek to resolve conflicts through consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, the maintainers have the final decision-making authority.

Updates to this Policy

This governance policy is subject to change. Any changes will be made in consultation with the community and must be approved by maintainers.
