-* Commit Access
-
-For frequent contributors, having write access to the repository is
-convenient. When you deem it necessary, feel free to ask for it on the
-mailing list. When you get commit access, please make sure to follow the
-policy below (discussions of the policy can take place on guix-devel@gnu.org.)
-
-Non-trivial patches should always be posted to guix-patches@gnu.org (trivial
-patches include fixing typos, etc.). This mailing list fills the
-patch-tracking database at [[https://bugs.gnu.org/guix-patches]]; see
-"Contributing" in the manual for details.
-
-For patches that just add a new package, and a simple one, it’s OK to commit,
-if you’re confident (which means you successfully built it in a chroot setup,
-and have done a reasonable copyright and license auditing.) Likewise for
-package upgrades, except upgrades that trigger a lot of rebuilds (for example,
-upgrading GnuTLS or GLib.) We have a mailing list for commit notifications
-(guix-commits@gnu.org), so people can notice. Before pushing your changes,
-make sure to run ‘git pull --rebase’.
-
-All commits that are pushed to the central repository on Savannah must be
-signed with an OpenPGP key, and the public key should be uploaded to your user
-account on Savannah and to public key servers, such as
-‘keys.openpgp.org’. To configure Git to automatically sign commits,
-run:
-
- git config commit.gpgsign true
- git config user.signingkey CABBA6EA1DC0FF33
-
-You can prevent yourself from accidentally pushing unsigned commits to
-Savannah by using the pre-push Git hook called located at ‘etc/git/pre-push’:
-
- cp etc/git/pre-push .git/hooks/pre-push
-
-When pushing a commit on behalf of somebody else, please add a Signed-off-by
-line at the end of the commit log message (e.g. with ‘git am --signoff’).
-This improves tracking of who did what.
-
-For anything else, please post to guix-patches@gnu.org and leave time for a
-review, without committing anything. If you didn’t receive any reply
-after two weeks, and if you’re confident, it’s OK to commit.
-
-That last part is subject to being adjusted, allowing individuals to commit
-directly on non-controversial changes on parts they’re familiar with.
