Maintainers Guide

We'd like to foster an active community of mutual respect. With that as our guiding principle, we strive to do the following:

  • Respond to issues/pulls in a timely manner.
  • Encourage new contributors when possible.
  • Maintain high code quality by ensuring all pull requests:
    • Have clear concise code.
    • Have passing specs.
    • Have a proper note in the docs (if appropriate).
    • Be made mergable by its creator (good feedback is hard enough).
    • If a pull doesn't meet these standards, we should offer helpful actionable advice to get it there.
  • Add CHANGELOG.md entries for every pull merged.
  • Publish new releases in a timely manner.
  • Responsibly upgrade along with Atom core
    • Tag the last compatible version with the correct Atom version before making a breaking change
    • Merge finished pull requests before merging breaking changes
  • Label issues clearly
    • As either an issue, enhancement or question.
    • The question label indicates that there's a question about current functionality or future functionality.
  • Label pull requests clearly
    • As either an issue or enhancement.
    • While being reviewed mark an additional under-review label if appropriate, so the community knows the status.
    • If a pull request requires changes by the creator an additional requires-changes label is appropriate.
    • Pulls that require core changes that aren't ready yet should be labeled with an additional blocked label.
