# restic project governance
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
The restic project uses a governance model commonly described as Benevolent
|
||
Dictator For Life (BDFL). This document outlines our understanding of what this
|
||
means. It is derived from the [i3 window manager project
|
||
governance](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/i3/i3/next/.github/GOVERNANCE.md).
|
||
|
||
## Roles
|
||
|
||
* user: anyone who interacts with the restic project
|
||
* core contributor: a handful of people who have contributed significantly to
|
||
the project by any means (issue triage, support, documentation, code, etc.).
|
||
Core contributors are recognizable via GitHub’s "Member" badge.
|
||
* Benevolent Dictator For Life (BDFL): a single individual who makes decisions
|
||
when consensus cannot be reached. restic's current BDFL is [@fd0](https://github.com/fd0).
|
||
|
||
## Decision making process
|
||
|
||
In general, we try to reach consensus in discussions. In case consensus cannot
|
||
be reached, the BDFL makes a decision.
|
||
|
||
## Contribution process
|
||
|
||
The contribution process is described in a separate document called
|
||
[CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md).
