# Traefik Recipe Maintenance

All contributions should be made via a pull request. This is to ensure a certain quality / consistency, that others can rely on.


## Maintainer Responsibilities

A recipe maintainer has the following responsibilities:
- respond to pull requests / issues within a week
- make image security updates within a day
- make image patch / minor updates within a week
- make image major updates within a month

In order to fullfill these responsibilities a recipe maintainer:
- has to watch the repository (to get notifications)
- needs to make sure renovate is configured properly

## Merge rules

A pull request can be merged if it is approved by at least one maintainer. For pull requests opened by a maintainer they need to be approved by another maintainer.

## Becoming a maintainer

Everyone can apply to be a recipe maintainer. Simply add your self to the list in the [README.md](./README.md) and open a new pull request with the change.
