@ -55,7 +55,33 @@ All decisions affecting Docker, big and small, follow the same 3 steps:
* Step 3: Accept (`LGTM`) or refuse a pull request. The relevant maintainers do
this (see below "Who decides what?")
+ 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.
