The group of core contributors is self-managing - core contributors are added by two -supporting votes from core contributors on the mailing list and no veto within four business days. -We expect that new contributors will submit a number of patches before they become core -contributors. - -## Accepting Contributions - -Please also see our [contribution guidelines](contributing.html). - -### Policy - -We use the following rules for accepting code contributions. This is written from the perspective -that there is a group of people who cooperatively support the project (the *core contributors*). In -contrast, external contributors are not actively supporting the project, but just contributing -individual changes. At this time, all core contributors work for Google (see below for the full -list), but this will hopefully change over time. - -1. We require all contributors to sign [Google's Contributor License - Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/). - -2. We accept well-written, well-tested contributions of rules written in - [Skylark](docs/skylark/concepts.html), in a `contrib/` directory or similar with clearly documented - support policies. - -3. We accept well-written, well-tested bug fixes to built-in rules. - -4. We accept well-written, well-tested feature contributions if a core contributor assumes support - responsibilities, i.e., readily answers support questions and works on bugs. This includes - feature contributions from external contributors. If there is no core contributor to support a - feature, then we will deprecate and subsequently delete the feature - we will give three months' - notice in such cases. - -5. We will not accept untested changes, except in very rare cases. - -6. We require a pre-commit code review from a core contributor for all changes. For the time being, - we will have to continue making changes across the internal and external code bases, which will - be reviewed internal to Google. - -7. We will roll back changes if they break the internal development processes of any of the core - contributors. - -8. We will move towards an open governance model where multiple parties have commit access, - roll-back rights, and can provide explicit support for features or rules. - -9. We will work with interested parties to improve existing extension points and to establish new - extension points if they do not run counter to the internal requirements of any of the core - contributors. - -## Are you done open sourcing Bazel? - -Open sourcing Bazel is a work-in-progress. In particular, we're still working on open sourcing: - -* Many of our unit and integration tests (which should make contributing patches easier). -* Full IDE integration. - -Beyond code, we'd like to eventually have all code reviews, bug tracking, and design decisions -happen publicly, with the Bazel community involved. We are not there yet, so some changes will -simply appear in the Bazel repository without clear explanation. Despite this lack of -transparency, we want to support external developers and collaborate. Thus, we are opening up the -code, even though some of the development is still happening internal to Google. Please let us know -if anything seems unclear or unjustified as we transition to an open model. - -## Are there parts of Bazel that will never be open sourced? - -Yes, some of the code base either integrates with Google-specific technology or we have been looking -for an excuse to get rid of (or is some combination of the two). These parts of the code base are -not available on GitHub and probably never will be. - -### Core Contributors - -<p class="lead"> -Contact the core team at <a href="mailto:bazel-dev@googlegroups.com"> -bazel-dev@googlegroups.com</a>. -</p> - -The current group is: - - - [damienmg](https://github.com/damienmg) - - [hanwen](https://github.com/hanwen) - - [jhfield](https://github.com/jhfield) - - [kchodorow](https://github.com/kchodorow) - - [laszlocsomor](https://github.com/laszlocsomor) - - [laurentlb](https://github.com/laurentlb) - - [lberki](https://github.com/lberki) - - [philwo](https://github.com/philwo) - - [ulfjack](https://github.com/ulfjack) |
