+# Headscale Recipe Maintenance
+
+All contributions should be made via a pull request. This is to ensure a
+certain quality and consistency, that others can rely on.
+
+## Maintainer Responsibilities
+
+`3wc` is responsible for installing regular updates:
+
+- Patch and minor updates within a week of them being released upstream
+- Major updates within a month of them being released upstream
+
+`ammaratef45` is responsible for responding to pull requests and issues, within a week of them being filed.
+
+In order to fulfill these responsibilities a recipe maintainer:
+
+- Has to watch the repository (to get notifications)
+- Needs to make sure Renovate is configured properly
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+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. Even though it is okay to merge a pull request with one approval, it
+is always better if all maintainers looked at the pull request and approved it.
+
+## Become a maintainer
+
+Everyone can apply to be a recipe maintainer:
+
+1. Watch the repository to always get updates
+2. Simply add yourself to the list in the [README.md](./README.md), add yourself to whichever things you would like to be (co) responsible for in this document, then open a new pull request with the change.
+3. Once the pull request gets merged you will be added to the [headscale maintainers team](https://git.coopcloud.tech/org/coop-cloud/teams/headscale-maintainers).
