This repository follows the Community Specification License 1.0 and its Governance Policy. Two things are required to merge a spec change:
- Proof of contribution rights (DCO). Every commit must be signed off (
Signed-off-by:), per the Contributor License Agreement / Section (d) under "In addition". This is enforced automatically by the DCO check. - Recorded maintainer consensus. Per Governance §2.1, Maintainers determine consensus in good faith and document it. A maintainer review, approval, and merge is that documented evidence.
Consensus is a good-faith judgment, not a numeric vote threshold. There is no required percentage and no voting tool to run. For specification status transitions (Pre-Draft, Draft, Approved) see Governance §4.
