-How to maintain the source code
-===============================
-
-Rolling out a new release
--------------------------
-
-1. Update the Changelogs.
-2. Update the version in ``offlineimap/__init__.py``.
-3. Commit the changes with the version in the commit message.
-4. Tag the release.
-5. Wait the next day before pushing out the release.
-6. Make an announce to the mailing list.

-
-Tagging stable releases or release candidates
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-It is done via Git's ``tag`` command, but you **must** do ``git tag -a``
-to create annotated tag.
-
-Release tags are named ``vX.Y.Z`` and release candidate tags are named
-``vX.Y.Z-rcN``.

-How to become a core team maintainer
-====================================
-
-Express your desire to one of the current official maintainers. This is all you
-have to do.
-
-We don't require years of contributions. Of course, we will pay attention a bit
-to your past interest to the project and your skills. But nothing is mandatory
-and it's fine to still be learning while being an official maintainer. Nobody is
-all-knowing, even with years of experience. So, if one current maintainer
-agrees, he will grant you the write access to the official repository.
-
-Contrary to what most people might think, becoming an official maintainer is not
-something hard. You'll first be asked to merge contributions and make one or two
-official releases. We will review your first steps and nothing more.
-
-Be aware that there is no more leader maintainer, neither is a leader in the
-team. Once you become a team member and did some maintenance for the project,
-you're free to take all the strong decisions.
-
-Since we are a team, we always try to discuss with others before taking any
-strong decision, including the users. This prevents from breaking things inside
-the whole community and the proximity we have with our users. Even most discreet
-of them will raise one day with good hints, review, feedback or opinion. This is
-how we are running in OfflineIMAP. And yes, we are really proud about the solid
-relationship we have with the users.
-
-Also, we are all benevolent volunteers. We are in a very good position to know
-that we are not always free to contribute as much as we'd like to. Being away
-for some (long) time is not a problem. At the time of this writing, each
-maintainer took some vacations from the project at some point in time. You'll
-contribute as much as your free time permits. It's fine! We are a team, so we
-help each other.
-
-Welcome! ,-)
