Dear maintainer. Thank you for investing the time and energy to help make Docker as
|
||||
useful as possible. Maintaining a project is difficult, sometimes unrewarding work.
|
||||
Sure, you will get to contribute cool features to the project. But most of your time
|

will be spent reviewing, cleaning up, documenting, andswering questions, justifying

design decisions - while everyone has all the fun! But remember - the quality of the

maintainers work is what distinguishes the good projects from the great.

So please be proud of your work, even the unglamourous parts, and encourage a culture

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),

The relevant maintainer for a pull request is assigned in 3 steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* Step 1: Determine the subdirectory affected by the pull request. This might be src/registry, docs/source/api, or any other part of the repo.
|
||||
|
||||
* Step 2: Find the MAINTAINERS file which affects this directory. If the directory itself does not have a MAINTAINERS file, work your way up the the repo hierarchy until you find one.

|

|
||||
* Step 3: The first maintainer listed is the primary maintainer. The pull request is assigned to him. He may assign it to other listed maintainers, at his discretion.
