Core developers
Core developers have special privileges and responsibilities compared to other contributors:
- Can vote for and against merging pull requests (See also Git Guidelines)
- Has write access to the Minetest team's repositories on GitHub
The core team should all be people who are trusted and capable of reviewing C++ code if you ask them to. They don't necessarily need to have the time. However, if a core developer doesn't write or review any code for a long time, the trust disappears.
Assignment
Core developers are assigned and unassigned by celeron55, based on these rules:
- Only people who have already contributed to the project can be assigned to be core developers.
- The person themselves or anyone else can propose someone to become or stop being a core developer. Do this by "/msg celeron55 blah blah", or by email.
- Celeron55 accepts complaints about core developers and ultimately decides on unassignments.
- Core developers, like other contributors, should document and publish their work in a way that allows another contributor to pick up on it if the core developer stops working on the project due to any reason.
- If a person doesn't use their core developer privileges for 6 months, the privileges will be revoked for security reasons.
