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

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

|
|
Short answer: EVERYTHING IS A PULL REQUEST.
|
|
|
|
Docker is an open-source project with an open design philosophy. This
|
|
means that the repository is the source of truth for EVERY aspect of the
|
|
project, including its philosophy, design, road map, and APIs. *If it's
|
|
part of the project, it's in the repo. If it's in the repo, it's part of
|
|
the project.*
|
|
|
|
As a result, all decisions can be expressed as changes to the
|
|
repository. An implementation change is a change to the source code. An
|
|
API change is a change to the API specification. A philosophy change is
|
|
a change to the philosophy manifesto, and so on.
|
|
|
|
All decisions affecting Docker, big and small, follow the same 3 steps:
|
|
|
|
* Step 1: Open a pull request. Anyone can do this.
|
|
|
|
* Step 2: Discuss the pull request. Anyone can do this.
|
|
|
|
* Step 3: Merge or refuse the pull request. Who does this depends on the nature
|
|
of the pull request and which areas of the project it affects. See *review flow*
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Because Docker is such a large and active project, it's important for everyone to know
|
|
who is responsible for deciding what. That is determined by a precise set of rules.
|
|
|
|
* For every *decision* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
|
|
who should *decide*.
|
|
|
|
* For every *problem* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
|
|
who should be responsible for *fixing* it.
|
|
|
|
* For every *question* in the project, the rules should designate, in a deterministic way,
|
|
who should be expected to have the *answer*.

|
#
|
|
# #### How to review patches to your subsystem
|
|
#
|
|
# Accepting pull requests:
|
|
#
|
|
# - If the pull request appears to be ready to merge, give it a `LGTM`, which
|
|
# stands for "Looks Good To Me".
|
|
# - If the pull request has some small problems that need to be changed, make
|
|
# a comment adressing the issues.
|
|
# - If the changes needed to a PR are small, you can add a "LGTM once the
|
|
# following comments are adressed..." this will reduce needless back and
|
|
# forth.
|
|
# - If the PR only needs a few changes before being merged, any MAINTAINER can
|
|
# make a replacement PR that incorporates the existing commits and fixes the
|
|
# problems before a fast track merge.
|
|
#
|
|
# Closing pull requests:
|
|
#
|
|
# - If a PR appears to be abandoned, after having attempted to contact the
|
|
# original contributor, then a replacement PR may be made. Once the
|
|
# replacement PR is made, any contributor may close the original one.
|
|
# - If you are not sure if the pull request implements a good feature or you
|
|
# do not understand the purpose of the PR, ask the contributor to provide
|
|
# more documentation. If the contributor is not able to adequately explain
|
|
# the purpose of the PR, the PR may be closed by any MAINTAINER.
|
|
# - If a MAINTAINER feels that the pull request is sufficiently architecturally
|
|
# flawed, or if the pull request needs significantly more design discussion
|
|
# before being considered, the MAINTAINER should close the pull request with
|
|
# a short explanation of what discussion still needs to be had. It is
|
|
# important not to leave such pull requests open, as this will waste both the
|
|
# MAINTAINER's time and the contributor's time. It is not good to string a
|
|
# contributor on for weeks or months, having them make many changes to a PR
|
|
# that will eventually be rejected.
