Core Membership Application¶

At present, new Symfony Core membership applications are not accepted.

Core Membership Revocation¶

A Symfony Core membership can be revoked for any of the following reasons:

• Refusal to follow the rules and policies stated in this document;
• Lack of activity for the past six months;
• Willful negligence or intent to harm the Symfony project;
• Upon decision of the Project Leader.

Should new Symfony Core memberships be accepted in the future, revoked members must wait at least 12 months before re-applying.

Pull Request Voting Policy¶

• -1 votes must always be justified by technical and objective reasons;
• +1 votes do not require justification, unless there is at least one -1 vote;
• Core members can change their votes as many times as they desire during the course of a pull request discussion;
• Core members are not allowed to vote on their own pull requests.

Pull Request Merging Policy¶

A pull request can be merged if:

• Enough time was given for peer reviews (a few minutes for typos or minor changes, at least 2 days for “regular” pull requests, and 4 days for pull requests with “a significant impact”);
• It is a minor change [1], regardless of the number of votes;
• At least the component’s Merger or two other Core members voted +1 and no Core member voted -1.

Pull Request Merging Process¶

All code must be committed to the repository through pull requests, except for minor changes [1] which can be committed directly to the repository.

Mergers must always use the command-line gh tool provided by the Project Leader to merge the pull requests.

Release Policy¶

The Project Leader is also the release manager for every Symfony version.
