Change approval process
Changes to the release branch require approval. The approval has two parts:
- Review by a developer other than the original contributor
- Approval by the release manager
To request a change after beta, post your request to the mailing list. Put "RFI" (request for inclusion) and the requested release in the subject. Make sure the change has a JIRA, so the reviewer and release manager can record their approvals, rejections, or other comments there.

Change acceptance criteria
- Trunk open to Alpha: Developers work at their own discretion
- Alpha to Beta: Major features, improvements, or refactorings need discussion before they can go in; bug fixes are unencumbered
- Beta to RC1: Bug fixes only; exceptions are sometimes made for important improvements that are isolated and small in terms of code delta
- After RC1: Bug fixes for important defects only, such as build failures, regressions, or security vulnerabilitities
