+# Ubuntu on Github
+
+In addition to code/projects on Launchpad and the Ubuntu archive, Ubuntu also maintains projects under [github.com/ubuntu](https://github.com/ubuntu).
+
+## Access
+
+Repositories under github.com/ubuntu are individually managed by their owners as admin.
+
+Ubuntu members that get {ref}`Ubuntu Core Developer <dmb-joining-core-dev>` permission are also added as [members of the organization](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-peoples-access-to-your-organization-with-roles/roles-in-an-organization) with access to the whole scope of [github.com/ubuntu](https://github.com/ubuntu). Repository owners cannot revoke this access.
+
+This is inclusive (Ubuntu Core Developers get access to the whole scope) and not exclusive (one does not need to be an Ubuntu Core Developer to be allowed access to an individual project).
+
+## Contributions
+
+Projects under [github.com/ubuntu](https://github.com/ubuntu) do not generally require the signing of the [Canonical contributor licence agreement](https://canonical.com/legal/contributors).

 Core Devs collectively maintain all packages in Ubuntu, which notably includes uploading to the `main` component.
 Core Devs also have elevated privileges for re-triggering autopkgtests and performing other administrative actions in Ubuntu.
 
+## Coverage Ubuntu on Github
+
+To maintain all resources used to make Ubuntu, a Core Developer also gets access to {ref}`ubuntu-on-github`.
+
+Upon achieving Ubuntu Core Developer permission - and under the condition that a GitHub user is registered with the Launchpad ID (configured under 'Social accounts' on your Launchpad profile page) - the DMB also add the applicant as a [member to the github.com/ubuntu organization](https://github.com/orgs/ubuntu/people).
+
+Ubuntu Core Developers that did not identify their associated GitHub user before can reach out to the {ref}`DMB <dmb>` to be added.
+
+Upon loss of Ubuntu Core Developer status, GitHub organization membership is revoked as well.
