    [$] Managing expectations with a contributions and credit policy

    Date:
    Mon, 13 May 2024 15:35:03 +0000

    Description:
    Maintainers of open-source projects sometimes have disagreements with contributors over how contributions are reviewed, modified, merged, and credited. A written policy describing how contributions are handled can
    help maintainers set reasonable expectations for potential contributors.
    In turn, that can make the maintainer's job easier because it can help
    reduce a source of friction in the project. A guide to help create this
    kind of policy for a project has recently been developed.
