Maintainers
===========

There aren't many rules for maintainers of rst2pdf to remember; what we have is
listed here.

We don't merge our own PRs
==========================

Our code is better if more than one set of eyes looks at it. Therefore we do
not merge our own pull requests unless there is an exceptional circumstance.
This helps to spot errors in the patch and also enables us to share information
about the project around the maintainer team.

PRs tagged ``[WIP]`` are not ready to be merged
===============================================

Sometimes it's helpful to collaborate on a patch before it's ready to be
merged. We use the ``[WIP]`` tag (for _Work in Progress_) in the title to mark
these PRs.

If a PR has ``[WIP]`` in its title, then it is not to be merged. The person who
raised the PR will remove the ``[WIP]`` tag when they are ready for a full
review and merge.

Assign a merged PR to a milestone
=================================

By ensuring that all merged PRs are assigned to a milestone, we can easily find
which PRs were in which release.
