Governance

hermes-operator is an open-source project under the Apache-2.0 license.

Roles

  • Maintainers: see MAINTAINERS.md. Maintainers have commit access, triage issues, review PRs, and make release decisions.
  • Contributors: anyone who opens issues, sends PRs, or contributes via discussions. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Decision making

Day-to-day decisions are made by maintainers via lazy consensus on GitHub: a PR or proposal stands after 72 hours with no objection from another maintainer. Substantive design decisions (new CRDs, breaking changes, dependency adds) require explicit approval from at least one maintainer other than the author.

Disputes are resolved by maintainer majority. The original project author (currently the sole maintainer) holds the tiebreaker.

Becoming a maintainer

A contributor with a sustained track record (typically 6+ months and 10+ merged non-trivial PRs) may be nominated by an existing maintainer. Approval is by majority of current maintainers.

Stepping down

Maintainers may step down at any time by sending a PR to MAINTAINERS.md. Maintainers inactive for 12 months may be moved to emeritus by majority of active maintainers.

Code of Conduct

All participants are expected to follow the Code of Conduct. Reports go to jannes@paperclip.inc.

Security

See SECURITY.md for the vulnerability reporting process.
