Committer

A Committer is a contributor that has the authority, and responsibility to submit changes to the ONAP software repository.

Typical characteristics of a Committer are:

Deep expertise in the code base over which they are committers
Time dedicated to reviewing code contributions made by other contributors
Knowledge and understanding of the overall development activities occurring within the project - this is important so that the review of new code is taken in the context of the overall development for the project.
Knowledge and understanding of other, interdependent projects within ONAP and how contributions to this project affect work being done elsewhere by others.

The Committers on a project will review each code contribution made by the Contributors, and other Committers on the project. Often, a Committer will need to enter into a dialog with a Contributor to have them make changes to the contribution to better fit the functional, structural makeup or style of the existing codebase. It is preferable to have at least 2 Committers show approval (with a +1) for a contribution before it is accepted into the repository. It is also ideally best practice to never have a Committer review and/or approve their own contribution into the repository.
