Committers Group

DSpace Committers have autonomous control over the code and are also the primary support team for DSpace. The primary responsibilities of Committers are:

• Maintain the codebase; Committers are the only individuals who can actively change/commit to the codebase
• Review all code contributions/changes to ensure stability, etc
• Merge/accept community code contributions
• Help to resolve bugs or security issues within codebase
• Help to provide ongoing support to community developers and users (via IRC, mailing lists, etc.)
• Perform and manage new releases based on the Technical Roadmap (from the Technology Advisory Group).

The Committers group is a meritocracy -- members are added from the pool of volunteer Contributors based on merit. Anyone may

be nominated as a Committer by anyone else. Only existing Committers may vote to add a nominated person to the Committers group.
