While reviewing our contribution guidelines in #139, we found we had no formal way of removing disappeared or idle maintainers, at least not explicitly, in the Membership section. This was a problem to get changes done on the contributing document which requires consensus from the maintainers.
This change introduces a way to make changes to the document by using it as a "vote of confidence", in a way: if a change is proposed and an administrator does not respond within a given 1-month delay, the administrator can be demoted down to a regular maintainer and the document approved.
Closes: #139
The idea here is that this guide can be reused by other projects,
which might not be on GitHub. By making the URL pointers more generic,
it makes it easier to change them in one central location.
Positive feedback allows the community and passers-by to contribute in
a positive way without requiring any technical capabilities: just a
little thank you helps!
Security issues might be handled differently. Explicitely state we
follow responsible disclosure guidelines.
This comes from the ecdysis project.
This ensure the files are in standard locations so that GitHub finds
them. This will hopefully help people provide more detailed bug
reports in the future as well.
