[$] 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.
