    18  There are different types of maintainers, with different responsibilities, but
    19  all maintainers have 3 things in common:
    20  
    21  1) They share responsibility in the project's success.
    22  2) They have made a long-term, recurring time investment to improve the project.
    23  3) They spend that time doing whatever needs to be done, not necessarily what
    24  is the most interesting or fun.
    25  
    26  Maintainers are often under-appreciated, because their work is harder to appreciate.
    27  It's easy to appreciate a really cool and technically advanced feature. It's harder
    28  to appreciate the absence of bugs, the slow but steady improvement in stability,
    29  or the reliability of a release process. But those things distinguish a good
    30  project from a great one.

    38  Docker follows the timeless, highly efficient and totally unfair system
    39  known as [Benevolent dictator for
    40  life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_Dictator_for_Life), with
    41  yours truly, Solomon Hykes, in the role of BDFL. This means that all
    42  decisions are made, by default, by Solomon. Since making every decision
    43  myself would be highly un-scalable, in practice decisions are spread
    44  across multiple maintainers.
    45  
    46  Ideally, the BDFL role is like the Queen of England: awesome crown, but not
    47  an actual operational role day-to-day. The real job of a BDFL is to NEVER GO AWAY.
    48  Every other rule can change, perhaps drastically so, but the BDFL will always
    49  be there, preserving the philosophy and principles of the project, and keeping
    50  ultimate authority over its fate. This gives us great flexibility in experimenting
    51  with various governance models, knowing that we can always press the "reset" button
    52  without fear of fragmentation or deadlock. See the US congress for a counter-example.
    53  
    54  BDFL daily routine:
    55  
    56  * Is the project governance stuck in a deadlock or irreversibly fragmented?
    57  	* If yes: refactor the project governance
    58  * Are there issues or conflicts escalated by core?
    59  	* If yes: resolve them
    60  * Go back to polishing that crown.

    68  Short answer: EVERYTHING IS A PULL REQUEST.
    69  
    70  Docker is an open-source project with an open design philosophy. This
    71  means that the repository is the source of truth for EVERY aspect of the
    72  project, including its philosophy, design, road map, and APIs. *If it's
    73  part of the project, it's in the repo. If it's in the repo, it's part of
    74  the project.*
    75  
    76  As a result, all decisions can be expressed as changes to the
    77  repository. An implementation change is a change to the source code. An
    78  API change is a change to the API specification. A philosophy change is
    79  a change to the philosophy manifesto, and so on.
    80  
    81  All decisions affecting Docker, big and small, follow the same 3 steps:
    82  
    83  * Step 1: Open a pull request. Anyone can do this.
    84  
    85  * Step 2: Discuss the pull request. Anyone can do this.
    86  
    87  * Step 3: Merge or refuse the pull request. Who does this depends on the nature
    88  of the pull request and which areas of the project it affects. See *review flow*
    89  for details.
    90  
    91  Because Docker is such a large and active project, it's important for everyone to know
    92  who is responsible for deciding what. That is determined by a precise set of rules.
    93  
    94  * For every *decision* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
    95  who should *decide*.
    96  
    97  * For every *problem* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
    98  who should be responsible for *fixing* it.
    99  
   100  * For every *question* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
   101  who should be expected to have the *answer*.

   375  	#
   376  	# Accepting pull requests:
   377  	#
   378  	#   - If the pull request appears to be ready to merge, give it a `LGTM`, which
   379  	#     stands for "Looks Good To Me".
   380  	#   - If the pull request has some small problems that need to be changed, make
   381  	#     a comment adressing the issues.
   382  	#   - If the changes needed to a PR are small, you can add a "LGTM once the
   383  	#     following comments are adressed..." this will reduce needless back and
   384  	#     forth.
   385  	#   - If the PR only needs a few changes before being merged, any MAINTAINER can
   386  	#     make a replacement PR that incorporates the existing commits and fixes the
   387  	#     problems before a fast track merge.
   388  	#
   389  	# Closing pull requests:
   390  	#
   391  	#   - If a PR appears to be abandoned, after having attempted to contact the
   392  	#     original contributor, then a replacement PR may be made.  Once the
   393  	#     replacement PR is made, any contributor may close the original one.
   394  	#   - If you are not sure if the pull request implements a good feature or you
   395  	#     do not understand the purpose of the PR, ask the contributor to provide
   396  	#     more documentation.  If the contributor is not able to adequately explain
   397  	#     the purpose of the PR, the PR may be closed by any MAINTAINER.
   398  	#   - If a MAINTAINER feels that the pull request is sufficiently architecturally
   399  	#     flawed, or if the pull request needs significantly more design discussion
   400  	#     before being considered, the MAINTAINER should close the pull request with
   401  	#     a short explanation of what discussion still needs to be had.  It is
   402  	#     important not to leave such pull requests open, as this will waste both the
   403  	#     MAINTAINER's time and the contributor's time.  It is not good to string a
   404  	#     contributor on for weeks or months, having them make many changes to a PR
   405  	#     that will eventually be rejected.
