<commit_before>Contributing to btc1
====================

The btc1 project operates an open contributor model where anyone is
welcome to contribute towards development in the form of peer review, testing
and patches. This document explains the practical process and guidelines for
contributing.

Firstly in terms of structure, there is no particular concept of "Core
developers" in the sense of privileged people. Open source often naturally
revolves around meritocracy where longer term contributors gain more trust from
the developer community. However, some hierarchy is necessary for practical
purposes. As such there are repository "maintainers" who are responsible for
merging pull requests as well as a "lead maintainer" who is responsible for the
release cycle, overall merging, moderation and appointment of maintainers.

Filing Issues
-------------
Issues are primarily for btc1 members.   Non-members' issues will normally be closed automatically, as a matter of policy.

Issues are not intended as a generalized free support avenue.
