## Membership, Roles, and Responsibilities

### Membership levels

See the [OpenTelemetry membership guide](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md) for information on how to become a member of the OpenTelemetry organization and the different roles available. In addition to the roles listed there we also have a Collector-specific role: code owners.

### Becoming a Code Owner

A Code Owner is responsible for one or multiple packages within the Collector. That responsibility includes maintaining the component, triaging and responding to issues, and reviewing pull requests.

Code Ownership does not have to be a full-time job. If you can find a couple hours to help out on a recurring basis, please consider pursuing Code Ownership.

#### Requirements

If you would like to help and become a Code Owner, you must meet the following requirements. These are more stringent requirements than those in the opentelemetry-collector-contrib repository due to the higher impact of changes in this repository:

1. [Be a member of the OpenTelemetry organization](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#member).
2. Be an existing [approver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#approver) or [maintainer](https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/main/guides/contributor/membership.md#maintainer) in at least one repository within the OpenTelemetry Github organization.
3. Have contributed directly to the package you want to own.

#### How to become a Code Owner

To become a Code Owner, open a PR that adds you to the [.github/CODEOWNERS](.github/CODEOWNERS) file. Make sure to ping existing code owners for the package you want to own to get their approval.

## Release

See [release](docs/release.md) for details.
