# Traefik 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

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

## 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 your self to the list in the [README.md](./README.md) and open a new pull request with the change.
3. Once the pull request gets merged you will be added to the [traefik maintainers team](https://git.coopcloud.tech/org/coop-cloud/teams/traefik-maintainers).
