- Individuals who would like to be considered committers on the project are expected to show as much of the behaviour outlined in the Committer role as possible
- Existing TSC members diligently monitor all the contributors and identify those who can be considered to be granted a committer role (or you can self-identify by reaching out to the individual TSC members and/or TSC mailing list)
- Nominating TSC member prepares a case for an individual to be considered a committer and sends it to the TSC private mailing list
- After discussion of the nominee has concluded a nominating TSC member starts a formal vote (simple majority with vetoes allowed but frowned upon)
- If the vote passes a nominating TSC member sends an invite to the individual and upon acceptance works with the LF Edge Infrastructure team to provision GitHub karma to the individual. Also MAINTAINERS.md file gets updated.
- If the vote fails, whatever feedback is appropriate and legal, can be communicated back to the nominee to make sure they understand how to improve their chances of getting nominated again
Finally, while the above process discussed Committers election process, the TSC election process is exactly the same with the only two points of difference being that the expected behaviour is outlined in the TSC Member role and the file that gets updated is CONTRIBUTING.md.
