Project management

Spacemacs uses GitHub for the project management. GitHub issues are used for 3 different purposes:

• Bug tracker
• Forum
• Mailing list

Because of these different usages, a high level of organization is needed.

Rules

Here are some general rules about Spacemacs project management:

• @syl20bnr has the last word.
• If at least 2 core-team members agree that a PR/issue is a wontfix, it can be closed.
• If a majority of people participating to a the discussion agree that's a wontfix, one core-team member is enough to close it.
• If an issue is at least 2 months old and nobody answered after 1 month, one core-team member is allowed to close it.
• Issues that have been been identified to be upstream issues can be closed by one core-team member. The important ones would still be kept open to allow following their progress on Spacemacs side.
