+When performance logging is enabled, performance events for some

+== Contribution Processes
 
-* link:https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual[Individual Agreement]
-* link:https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate[Corporate Agreement]
+The Gerrit project offers two contribution processes:
 
-== Code Review
+* link:#lightweight-contribution-process[Lightweight Contribution
+  Process]
+* link:#design-driven-contribution-process[Design-Driven Contribution
+  Process]
+
+The lightweight contribution process has little overhead and is best
+suited for small contributions (documentation updates, bug fixes, small
+features). Contributions are pushed as changes and
+link:dev-roles.html#maintainer[maintainers,role=external,window=_blank]
+review them adhoc.
+
+For large/complex features, it is required to follow the
+link:#design-driven-contribution-process[design-driven contribution
+process] and specify the feature in a link:dev-design-docs.html[design
+doc,role=external,window=_blank] before starting with the implementation.
+
+If link:dev-roles.html#contributor[contributors,role=external,window=_blank]
+choose the lightweight contribution process and during the review it turns out
+that the feature is too large or complex,
+link:dev-roles.html#maintainer[maintainers,role=external,window=_blank] can
+require to follow the design-driven contribution process instead.
+
+If you are in doubt which process is right for you, consult the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss,role=external,window=_blank]
+mailing list.
+
+These contribution processes apply to everyone who contributes code to
+the Gerrit project, including link:dev-roles.html#maintainer[
+maintainers,role=external,window=_blank]. When reading this document, keep in
+mind that maintainers are also contributors when they contribute code.
+
+If a new feature is large or complex, it is often difficult to find a
+maintainer who can take the time that is needed for a thorough review,
+and who can help with getting the changes submitted. To avoid that this
+results in unpredictable long waiting times during code review,
+contributors can ask for link:#mentorship[mentor support]. A mentor
+helps with timely code reviews and technical guidance. Doing the
+implementation is still the responsibility of the contributor.

+=== Lightweight Contribution Process
+
+The lightweight contribution process has little overhead and is best
+suited for small contributions (documentation updates, bug fixes, small
+features). For large/complex features the
+link:#design-driven-contribution-process[design-driven contribution
+process] is required.
+
 As Gerrit is a code review tool, naturally contributions will
 be reviewed before they will get submitted to the code base.  To
 start your contribution, please make a git commit and upload it
-for review to the main Gerrit review server.  To help speed up the
-review of your change, review these guidelines before submitting
-your change.  You can view the pending Gerrit contributions and
-their statuses
-link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/q/status:open+project:gerrit[here].
+for review to the link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/[
+gerrit-review.googlesource.com,role=external,window=_blank] Gerrit server.  To
+help speed up the review of your change, review these link:dev-crafting-changes.html[

+view the pending Gerrit contributions and their statuses
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/q/status:open+project:gerrit[here,role=external,window=_blank].
 
 Depending on the size of that list it might take a while for
 your change to get reviewed.  Naturally there are fewer
-approvers than contributors; so anything that you can do to
-ensure that your contribution will undergo fewer revisions
-will speed up the contribution process.  This includes helping
-out reviewing other people's changes to relieve the load from
-the approvers.  Even if you are not familiar with Gerrit's
-internals, it would be of great help if you can download, try
-out, and comment on new features.  If it works as advertised,
-say so, and if you have the privileges to do so, go ahead
-and give it a +1 Verified.  If you would find the feature
-useful, say so and give it a +1 code review.

+[[design-driven-contribution-process]]
+=== Design-driven Contribution Process
 
-== Review Criteria
+The design-driven contribution process applies to large/complex
+features.
 
-Here are some hints as to what approvers may be looking for
-before approving or submitting changes to the Gerrit project.
-Let's start with the simple nit picky stuff.  You are likely
-excited that your code works; help us share your excitement
-by not distracting us with the simple stuff.  Thanks to Gerrit,
-problems are often highlighted and we find it hard to look
-beyond simple spacing issues.  Blame it on our short attention
-spans, we really do want your code.
+For large/complex features it is important to:
 
+* agree on the functionality and scope before spending too much time
+  on the implementation
+* ensure that they are in line with Gerrit's project scope and vision
+* ensure that they are well aligned with other features
+* think about possibilities how the feature could be evolved over time
 
-[[commit-message]]
-=== Commit Message
+This is why for large/complex features it is required to describe the
+feature in a link:dev-design-docs.html[design doc,role=external,window=_blank]
+and get it approved by the
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee,role=external,window=_blank],
+before starting the implementation.
 
-It is essential to have a good commit message if you want your
-change to be reviewed.
+The design-driven contribution process has the following steps:
 
-  * Keep lines no longer than 72 chars
-  * Start with a short one line summary
-  * Followed by a blank line
-  * Followed by one or more explanatory paragraphs
-  * Use the present tense (fix instead of fixed)
-  * Use the past tense when describing the status before this commit
-  * Include a `Bug: Issue <#>` line if fixing a Gerrit issue, or a
-    `Feature: Issue <#>` line if implementing a feature request.
-  * Include a `Change-Id` line
+* A link:dev-roles.html#contributor[contributor,role=external,window=_blank]
+  link:dev-design-docs.html#propose[proposes,role=external,window=_blank] a new
+  feature by uploading a change with a
+  link:dev-design-docs.html[design doc,role=external,window=_blank].
+* The design doc is link:dev-design-docs.html#review[reviewed,role=external,window=_blank]
+  by interested parties from the community. The design review is public
+  and everyone can comment and raise concerns.
+* Design docs should stay open for a minimum of 10 calendar days so
+  that everyone has a fair chance to join the review.
+* Within 14 calendar days the contributor should hear back from the
+  link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee,role=external,window=_blank]
+  whether the proposed feature is in scope of the project and if it can
+  be accepted.
+* To be submitted, the design doc needs to be approved by the
+  link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee,role=external,window=_blank].
+* After the design was approved, the implementation is done by pushing
+  changes for review, see link:#lightweight-contribution-process[
+  lightweight contribution process]. Changes that are associated with
+  a design should all share a common hashtag. The contributor is the
+  main driver of the implementation and responsible that it is done.
+  Others from the Gerrit community are usually much welcome to help
+  with the implementation.
 
-=== Setting up Vim for Git commit message
+In order to be accepted/submitted, it is not necessary that the design
+doc fully specifies all the details, but the idea of the feature and
+how it fits into Gerrit should be sufficiently clear (judged by the
+steering committee). Contributors are expected to keep the design doc
+updated and fill in gaps while they go forward with the implementation.
+We expect that implementing the feature and updating the design doc
+will be an iterative process.
 
-Git uses Vim as the default commit message editor. Put this into your
-`$HOME/.vimrc` file to configure Vim for Git commit message formatting
-and writing:
+While the design doc is still in review, contributors may already start
+with the implementation (e.g. do some prototyping to demonstrate parts
+of the proposed design), but those changes should not be submitted
+while the design wasn't approved yet.
 
-====
-  " Enable spell checking, which is not on by default for commit messages.
-  au FileType gitcommit setlocal spell
+By approving a design, the steering committee commits to:
 
-  " Reset textwidth if you've previously overridden it.
-  au FileType gitcommit setlocal textwidth=72
-====
+* Accepting the feature when it is implemented.
+* Supporting the feature by assigning a link:dev-roles.html#mentor[
+  mentor,role=external,window=_blank] (if requested, see link:#mentorship[mentorship]).
 
+If the implementation of a feature gets stuck and it's unclear whether
+the feature gets fully done, it should be discussed with the steering
+committee how to proceed. If the contributor cannot commit to finish
+the implementation and no other contributor can take over, changes that
+have already been submitted for the feature might get reverted so that
+there is no unused or half-finished code in the code base.
 
-[[git_commit_settings]]
-=== A sample good Gerrit commit message:
-====
-  Add sample commit message to guidelines doc
+For contributors, the design-driven contribution process has the
+following advantages:
 
-  The original patch set for the contributing guidelines doc did not
-  include a sample commit message, this new patchset does.  Hopefully this
-  makes things a bit clearer since examples can sometimes help when
-  explanations don't.
+* By writing a design doc, the feature gets more attention. During the
+  design review, feedback from various sides can be collected, which
+  likely leads to improvements of the feature.
+* Once a design was approved by the
+  link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee,role=external,window=_blank],
+  the contributor can be almost certain that the feature will be accepted.
+  Hence, there is only a low risk to invest into implementing a feature
+  and see it being rejected later during the code review, as it can
+  happen with the lightweight contribution process.
+* The contributor can link:#mentorship[get a dedicated mentor assigned]
+  who provides timely reviews and serves as a contact person for
+  technical questions and discussing details of the design.
 
-  Note that the body of this commit message can be several paragraphs, and
-  that I word wrap it at 72 characters.  Also note that I keep the summary
-  line under 50 characters since it is often truncated by tools which
-  display just the git summary.
+[[mentorship]]
+== Mentorship
 
-  Bug: Issue 98765605
-  Change-Id: Ic4a7c07eeb98cdeaf44e9d231a65a51f3fceae52
-====
+For features for which a link:dev-design-docs.html[design,role=external,window=_blank]
+has been approved (see link:#design-driven-contribution-process[design-driven
+contribution process]), contributors can gain the support of a mentor
+if they are committed to implement the feature.
 
-The `Change-Id` line is, as usual, created by a local git hook.  To install it,
-simply copy it from the checkout and make it executable:
+A link:dev-roles.html#mentor[mentor,role=external,window=_blank] helps with:
 
-====
-  cp ./gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/
-  chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg
-====
+* doing timely reviews
+* providing technical guidance during code reviews
+* discussing details of the design
+* ensuring that the quality standards are met (well documented,
+  sufficient test coverage, backwards compatible etc.)
 
-If you are working on core plugins, you will also need to install the
-same hook in the submodules:
+A feature can have more than one mentor. To be able to deliver the
+promised support, at least one of the mentors must be a
+link:dev-roles.html#maintainer[maintainer,role=external,window=_blank].
 
-====
-  export hook=$(pwd)/.git/hooks/commit-msg
-  git submodule foreach 'cp -p "$hook" "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/hooks/"'
-====
+Mentors are assigned by the link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[
+steering committee,role=external,window=_blank]. To gain a mentor, ask for a
+mentor in the link:dev-design-doc-template.html#implementation-plan[Implementation
+Plan,role=external,window=_blank] section of the design doc or ask the steering
+committee after the design has been approved.
 
+Mentors may not be available immediately. In this case, the steering
+committee should include the approved feature into the roadmap or
+prioritize it in the backlog. This way, it is transparent for the
+contributor when they can expect to be able to work on the feature with
+mentor support.
 
-To set up git's remote for easy pushing, run the following:
+Once the implementation phase starts, the contributor is expected to do
+the implementation in a timely manner.
 
-====
-  git remote add gerrit https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
-====
+For every mentorship, the end must be clearly defined. The design doc
+must specify:
 
-The HTTPS access requires proper username and password; this can be obtained
-by clicking the 'Obtain Password' link on the
-link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/settings/http-password[HTTP
-Password tab of the user settings page].
+* a maximum time frame for the mentorship, after which the mentorship
+  automatically ends, even if the feature is not done yet
+* done criteria that define when the feature is done and the mentorship
+  ends
 
-Alternately, you may use the
-link:https://pypi.org/project/git-review/[git-review] tool to submit changes
-to Gerrit. If you do, it will set up the Change-Id hook and `gerrit` remote
-for you. You will still need to do the HTTP access step.
+If a feature is not finished in time, it should be discussed with the
+steering committee how to proceed. If the contributor cannot commit to
+finish the implementation in time and no other contributor can take
+over, changes that have already been submitted for the feature might
+get reverted so that there is no unused or half-finished code in the
+code base.
 
-[[style]]
-=== Style
+[[esc-dd-evaluation]]
+== How the ESC evaluates design documents
+This section describes how the ESC evaluates design documents. It’s
+meant as a guideline rather than being prescriptive for both ESC
+members and contributors.
 
-This project has a policy of Eclipse's warning free code. Eclipse
-configuration is added to git and we expect the changes to be
-warnings free.
+=== General Process
+As part of the design process, the ESC makes a final decision if a
+design gets to be implemented. If there are multiple alternative
+solutions, the ESC will decide which solution can be implemented.
 
-We do not ask you to use Eclipse for editing, obviously.  We do ask you
-to provide Eclipse's warning free patches only. If for some reasons, you
-are not able to set up Eclipse and verify, that your patch hasn't
-introduced any new Eclipse warnings, mention this in a comment to your
-change, so that reviewers will do it for you. Yes, the way to go is to
-extend gerrit CI to take care of this, but it's not yet implemented.
+The ESC should wait until all contributors had the chance to
+voice their opinion in review comments or by proposing alternative
+solutions. Due to the infrequent ESC meetings (every 2-4 weeks)
+the ESC might discuss documents in cases where the discussion is
+already advanced far enough, but not make a decision yet. In this
+case, contributors can still voice concerns or discuss alternatives.
+The decision can be at the next meeting or via email in between
+meetings.
 
-Gerrit follows the
-link:https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html[Google Java Style
-Guide].
+=== Evaluation
+Product/Vision fit
 
-To format Java source code, Gerrit uses the
-link:https://github.com/google/google-java-format[`google-java-format`]
-tool (version 1.7), and to format Bazel BUILD, WORKSPACE and .bzl files the
-link:https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/buildifier[`buildifier`]
-tool (version 3.0.0). Unused dependencies are found and removed using the
-link:https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/unused_deps[`unused_deps`]
-build tool, a sibling of `buildifier`.
+Q: `Do we believe this feature belongs to Gerrit Code Review use-cases?`
 
-These tools automatically apply format according to the style guides; this
-streamlines code review by reducing the need for time-consuming, tedious,
-and contentious discussions about trivial issues like whitespace.
-
-You may download and run `google-java-format` on your own, or you may
-run `./tools/setup_gjf.sh` to download a local copy and set up a
-wrapper script. If you run your own copy, please use the same version,
-as there may be slight differences between versions.
-
-When to use `final` modifier and when not (in new code):
-
-Always:
-
-  * final fields: marking fields as final forces them to be
-  initialized in the constructor or at declaration
-  * final static fields: clearly communicates the intent
-  * to use final variables in inner anonymous classes
-
-Optional:
-
-  * final classes: use when appropriate, e.g. API restriction
-  * final methods: similar to final classes
-
-Never:
-
-  * local variables: it clutters the code, and makes the code less
-  readable. When copying old code to new location, finals should
-  be removed
-  * method parameters: similar to local variables
-
-=== Code Organization
-
-Do your best to organize classes and methods in a logical way.
-Here are some guidelines that Gerrit uses:
-
-  * Ensure a standard copyright header is included at the top
-    of any new files (copy it from another file, update the year).
-  * Always place loggers first in your class!
-  * Define any static interfaces next in your class.
-  * Define non static interfaces after static interfaces in your
-    class.
-  * Next you should define static types, static members, and
-    static methods, in decreasing order of visibility (public to private).
-  * Finally instance types, instance members, then constructors,
-    and then instance methods.
-  * Some common exceptions are private helper static methods, which
-    might appear near the instance methods which they help (but may
-    also appear at the top).
-  * Getters and setters for the same instance field should usually
-    be near each other barring a good reason not to.
-  * If you are using assisted injection, the factory for your class
-    should be before the instance members.
-  * Annotations should go before language keywords (`final`, `private`, etc) +
-    Example: `@Assisted @Nullable final type varName`
-  * Prefer to open multiple AutoCloseable resources in the same
-    try-with-resources block instead of nesting the try-with-resources
-    blocks and increasing the indentation level more than necessary.
-
-Wow that's a lot!  But don't worry, you'll get the habit and most
-of the code is organized this way already; so if you pay attention
-to the class you are editing you will likely pick up on it.
-Naturally new classes are a little harder; you may want to come
-back and consult this section when creating them.
-
-
-=== Design
-
-Here are some design level objectives that you should keep in mind
-when coding:
-
-  * Most client pages should perform only one RPC to load so as to
-    keep latencies down.  Exceptions would apply to RPCs which need
-    to load large data sets if splitting them out will help the
-    page load faster.  Generally page loads are expected to complete
-    in under 100ms.  This will be the case for most operations,
-    unless the data being fetched is not using Gerrit's caching
-    infrastructure.  In these slower cases, it is worth considering
-    mitigating this longer load by using a second RPC to fill in
-    this data after the page is displayed (or alternatively it might
-    be worth proposing caching this data).
-  * `@Inject` should be used on constructors, not on fields.  The
-    current exceptions are the ssh commands, these were implemented
-    earlier in Gerrit's development.  To stay consistent, new ssh
-    commands should follow this older pattern; but eventually these
-    should get converted to eliminate this exception.
-  * Don't leave repository objects (git or schema) open.  A .close()
-    after every open should be placed in a finally{} block.
-  * Don't leave UI components, which can cause new actions to occur,
-    enabled during RPCs which update Git repositories, including NoteDb.
-    This is to prevent people from submitting actions more than once
-    when operating on slow links.  If the action buttons are disabled,
-    they cannot be resubmitted and the user can see that Gerrit is still
-    busy.
-  * ...and so is Guava (previously known as Google Collections).
-
-
-=== Tests
-
-  * Tests for new code will greatly help your change get approved.
-
-
-=== Change Size/Number of Files Touched
-
-And finally, I probably cannot say enough about change sizes.
-Generally, smaller is better, hopefully within reason.  Do try to
-keep things which will be confusing on their own together,
-especially if changing one without the other will break something!
-
-  * If a new feature is implemented and it is a larger one, try to
-    identify if it can be split into smaller logical features; when
-    in doubt, err on the smaller side.
-  * Separate bug fixes from feature improvements.  The bug fix may
-    be an easy candidate for approval and should not need to wait
-    for new features to be approved.  Also, combining the two makes
-    reviewing harder since then there is no clear line between the
-    fix and the feature.
-  * Separate supporting refactoring from feature changes.  If your
-    new feature requires some refactoring, it helps to make the
-    refactoring a separate change which your feature change
-    depends on.  This way, reviewers can easily review the refactor
-    change as a something that should not alter the current
-    functionality, and feel more confident they can more easily
-    spot errors this way.  Of course, it also makes it easier to
-    test and locate later on if an unfortunate error does slip in.
-    Lastly, by not having to see refactoring changes at the same
-    time, it helps reviewers understand how your feature changes
-    the current functionality.
-  * Separate logical features into separate changes.  This
-    is often the hardest part.  Here is an example:  when adding a
-    new ability, make separate changes for the UI and the ssh
-    commands if possible.
-  * Do only what the commit message describes.  In other words, things which
-    are not strictly related to the commit message shouldn't be part of
-    a change, even trivial things like externalizing a string somewhere
-    or fixing a typo.  This helps keep `git blame` more useful in the future
-    and it also makes `git revert` more useful.
-  * Use topics to link your separate changes together.
-
-[[process]]
-== Process
-
-[[dev-in-stable-branches]]
-=== Development in stable branches
-
-As their name suggests stable branches are intended to be stable. This means that generally
-only bug-fixes should be done on stable branches, however this is not strictly enforced and
-exceptions may apply:
+* Yes: Customizable dashboards
+* No: UI for managing an LDAP server
 
-  * When a stable branch is initially created to prepare a new release the Gerrit community
-    discusses on the mailing list if there are pending features which should still make it into the
-    release. Those features are blocking the release and should be implemented on the stable
-    branch before the first release candidate is created.
-  * To stabilize the code before doing a major release several release candidates are created. Once
-    the first release candidate was done no more features should be accepted on the stable branch.
-    If more features are found to be required they should be discussed with the Gerrit maintainers
-    and should only be allowed if the risk of breaking things is considered to be low.
-  * Once a major release is done only bug-fixes and documentation updates should be done on the
-    stable branch. These updates will be included in the next minor release.
-  * For minor releases new features are only acceptable if they are important to the Gerrit
-    community, if they are backwards compatible and the risk of breaking things is low and if there
-    are no objections from the Gerrit community.
-  * In cases of doubt it's the responsibility of the release maintainer to evaluate the risk of new
-    features and make a decision based on these rules and opinions from the Gerrit community.
-  * The older a stable branch is the more stable it should be. This means old stable branches
-    should only receive bug-fixes that are either important or low risk. Security fixes, including
-    security updates for third party dependencies, are always considered as important and hence can
-    always be done on stable branches.
+Q: `Is the proposed solution aligned with Gerrit’s vision?`
 
-=== Backporting to stable branches
+* Yes: Showing comments of older patch sets in newer patch sets to
+  keep track (core code review)
+* No: Implement a bug tracker in Gerrit (not core code review).
 
-From time to time bug fix releases are made for existing stable branches.
+=== Impact
+Q: `Will the new feature have a measurable, positive impact?`
 
-Developers concerned with stable branches are encouraged to backport or push fixes to these
-branches, even if no new release is planned. Backporting features is only possible in compliance
-with the rules link:#dev-in-stable-branches[above].
+* Yes: Increased productivity, faster/smoother workflow, etc.
+* Yes: Better latency, more reliable system.
+* No: Unclear impact or lacking metrics to measure.
 
-Fixes that are known to be needed for a particular release should be pushed for review on that
-release's stable branch. They will then be included into the master branch when the stable branch
-is merged back.
+=== Complexity
+Q: `Can we support/maintain this feature once it is in Gerrit?`
 
-=== Finding starter projects to work on
+* Yes: Code will fit into codebase, be well tested, easy to
+  understand.
+* No: Will add code or a workflow that is hard to understand
+  and easy to misinterpret.
 
-We have created a
-link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/list?can=2&q=label%3AStarterProject[StarterProject]
-category in the issue tracker and try to assign easy hack projects to it. If in
-doubt, do not hesitate to ask on the developer
-link:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/repo-discuss[mailing list].
+Q: `Is the proposed feature or rework adding unnecessary complexity?`
 
-=== Upgrading Libraries
+* Yes: Adding a dependency on a well-supported library.
+* No: Adding a dependency on a library that is not widely used
+  or not actively maintained.
 
-Gerrit's library dependencies should only be upgraded if the new version contains
-something we need in Gerrit. This includes new features, API changes as well as bug
-or security fixes.
-An exception to this rule is that right after a new Gerrit release was branched
-off, all libraries should be upgraded to the latest version to prevent Gerrit
-from falling behind. Doing those upgrades should conclude at the latest two
-months after the branch was cut. This should happen on the master branch to ensure
-that they are vetted long enough before they go into a release and we can be sure
-that the update doesn't introduce a regression.
+=== Core vs. Plugin decision
+Q: `Would this fit better in a plugin?`
 
-[[deprecating-features]]
-=== Deprecating features
+* Yes:The proposed feature or rework is an implementation (e.g. Lucene
+  is an index implementation) of a generic concept that others
+  might want to implement differently.
+* Yes: The proposed feature or rework is very specific to a custom setup.
+* No: The proposed feature or rework is applicable to a wider user
+  base.
+* No: The proposed feature or rework is a `core code review feature`.
 
-Gerrit should be as stable as possible and we aim to add only features that last.
-However, sometimes we are required to deprecate and remove features to be able
-to move forward with the project and keep the code-base clean. The following process
-should serve as a guideline on how to deprecate functionality in Gerrit. Its purpose
-is that we have a structured process for deprecation that users, administrators and
-developers can agree and rely on.
+=== Commitment
+Q: `Is someone willing to implement it?` (this question is
+especially important when reviewers propose alternative designs
+to the author’s own solution).
 
-General process:
+* Yes: The author or someone else commits to implementing the
+  proposed solution.
+* Yes: If a mentorship is required, a mentor is willing to help.
+* No: Unclear ownership, mentorship or implementation plan.
 
-  * Make sure that the feature (e.g. a field on the API) is not needed anymore or blocks
-    further development or improvement. If in doubt, consult the mailing list.
-  * If you can provide a schema migration that moves users to a comparable feature, do
-    so and stop here.
-  * Mark the feature as deprecated in the documentation and release notes.
-  * If possible, mark the feature deprecated in any user-visible interface. For example,
-    if you are deprecating a Git push option, add a message to the Git response if
-    the user provided the option informing them about deprecation.
-  * Annotate the code with `@Deprecated` and `@RemoveAfter(x.xx)` if applicable.
-    Alternatively, use `// DEPRECATED, remove after x.xx` (where x.xx is the version
-    number that has to be branched off before removing the feature)
-  * Gate the feature behind a config that is off by default (forcing admins to turn
-    the deprecated feature on explicitly).
-  * After the next release was branched off, remove any code that backed the feature.
+=== Community
+Q: `If in doubt, is there a substantial benefit to a long-standing
+community member with many users?`
 
-You can optionally consult the mailing list to ask if there are users of the feature you
-wish to deprecate. If there are no major users, you can remove the feature without
-following this process and without the grace period of one release.
+* The community shapes the future of Gerrit as a product. In
+  cases of doubt, the ESC can be more generous with long-standing
+  community members compared to `drive-by` contributions.

+= Gerrit Code Review - Crafting Changes
+
+Here are some hints as to what approvers may be looking for
+before approving or submitting changes to the Gerrit project.
+Let's start with the simple nit picky stuff.  You are likely
+excited that your code works; help us share your excitement
+by not distracting us with the simple stuff.  Thanks to Gerrit,
+problems are often highlighted and we find it hard to look
+beyond simple spacing issues.  Blame it on our short attention
+spans, we really do want your code.
+
+[[commit-message]]
+== Commit Message
+
+It is essential to have a good commit message if you want your
+change to be reviewed.
+
+  * Keep lines no longer than 72 chars
+  * Start with a short one line summary
+  * Followed by a blank line
+  * Followed by one or more explanatory paragraphs
+  * Use the present tense (fix instead of fixed)
+  * Use the past tense when describing the status before this commit
+  * Include a `Bug: Issue <#>` line if fixing a Gerrit issue, or a
+    `Feature: Issue <#>` line if implementing a feature request.
+  * Include a `Change-Id` line
+
+[[vim-setup]]
+=== Setting up Vim for Git commit message
+
+Git uses Vim as the default commit message editor. Put this into your
+`$HOME/.vimrc` file to configure Vim for Git commit message formatting
+and writing:
+
+====
+  " Enable spell checking, which is not on by default for commit messages.
+  au FileType gitcommit setlocal spell
+
+  " Reset textwidth if you've previously overridden it.
+  au FileType gitcommit setlocal textwidth=72
+====
+
+
+[[git-commit-settings]]
+=== A sample good Gerrit commit message:
+====
+  Add sample commit message to guidelines doc
+
+  The original patch set for the contributing guidelines doc did not
+  include a sample commit message, this new patchset does.  Hopefully this
+  makes things a bit clearer since examples can sometimes help when
+  explanations don't.
+
+  Note that the body of this commit message can be several paragraphs, and
+  that I word wrap it at 72 characters.  Also note that I keep the summary
+  line under 50 characters since it is often truncated by tools which
+  display just the git summary.
+
+  Bug: Issue 98765605
+  Change-Id: Ic4a7c07eeb98cdeaf44e9d231a65a51f3fceae52
+====
+
+The `Change-Id` line is, as usual, created by a local git hook.  To install it,
+simply copy it from the checkout and make it executable:
+
+====
+  cp ./gerrit-server/src/main/resources/com/google/gerrit/server/tools/root/hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/
+  chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg
+====
+
+If you are working on core plugins, you will also need to install the
+same hook in the submodules:
+
+====
+  export hook=$(pwd)/.git/hooks/commit-msg
+  git submodule foreach 'cp -p "$hook" "$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/hooks/"'
+====
+
+
+To set up git's remote for easy pushing, run the following:
+
+====
+  git remote add gerrit https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
+====
+
+The HTTPS access requires proper username and password; this can be obtained
+by clicking the 'Obtain Password' link on the
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/settings/http-password[HTTP
+Password tab of the user settings page].
+
+Alternately, you may use the
+link:https://pypi.org/project/git-review/[git-review] tool to submit changes
+to Gerrit. If you do, it will set up the Change-Id hook and `gerrit` remote
+for you. You will still need to do the HTTP access step.
+
+[[style]]
+== Style
+
+This project has a policy of Eclipse's warning free code. Eclipse
+configuration is added to git and we expect the changes to be
+warnings free.
+
+We do not ask you to use Eclipse for editing, obviously.  We do ask you
+to provide Eclipse's warning free patches only. If for some reasons, you
+are not able to set up Eclipse and verify, that your patch hasn't
+introduced any new Eclipse warnings, mention this in a comment to your
+change, so that reviewers will do it for you. Yes, the way to go is to
+extend gerrit CI to take care of this, but it's not yet implemented.
+
+Gerrit follows the
+link:https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html[Google Java Style
+Guide].
+
+To format Java source code, Gerrit uses the
+link:https://github.com/google/google-java-format[`google-java-format`]
+tool (version 1.7), and to format Bazel BUILD, WORKSPACE and .bzl files the
+link:https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/buildifier[`buildifier`]
+tool (version 3.0.0). Unused dependencies are found and removed using the
+link:https://github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/tree/master/unused_deps[`unused_deps`]
+build tool, a sibling of `buildifier`.
+
+These tools automatically apply format according to the style guides; this
+streamlines code review by reducing the need for time-consuming, tedious,
+and contentious discussions about trivial issues like whitespace.
+
+You may download and run `google-java-format` on your own, or you may
+run `./tools/setup_gjf.sh` to download a local copy and set up a
+wrapper script. If you run your own copy, please use the same version,
+as there may be slight differences between versions.
+
+When to use `final` modifier and when not (in new code):
+
+Always:
+
+  * final fields: marking fields as final forces them to be
+  initialized in the constructor or at declaration
+  * final static fields: clearly communicates the intent
+  * to use final variables in inner anonymous classes
+
+Optional:
+
+  * final classes: use when appropriate, e.g. API restriction
+  * final methods: similar to final classes
+
+Never:
+
+  * local variables: it clutters the code, and makes the code less
+  readable. When copying old code to new location, finals should
+  be removed
+  * method parameters: similar to local variables
+
+[[code-organization]]
+== Code Organization
+
+Do your best to organize classes and methods in a logical way.
+Here are some guidelines that Gerrit uses:
+
+  * Ensure a standard copyright header is included at the top
+    of any new files (copy it from another file, update the year).
+  * Always place loggers first in your class!
+  * Define any static interfaces next in your class.
+  * Define non static interfaces after static interfaces in your
+    class.
+  * Next you should define static types, static members, and
+    static methods, in decreasing order of visibility (public to private).
+  * Finally instance types, instance members, then constructors,
+    and then instance methods.
+  * Some common exceptions are private helper static methods, which
+    might appear near the instance methods which they help (but may
+    also appear at the top).
+  * Getters and setters for the same instance field should usually
+    be near each other barring a good reason not to.
+  * If you are using assisted injection, the factory for your class
+    should be before the instance members.
+  * Annotations should go before language keywords (`final`, `private`, etc) +
+    Example: `@Assisted @Nullable final type varName`
+  * Prefer to open multiple AutoCloseable resources in the same
+    try-with-resources block instead of nesting the try-with-resources
+    blocks and increasing the indentation level more than necessary.
+
+Wow that's a lot!  But don't worry, you'll get the habit and most
+of the code is organized this way already; so if you pay attention
+to the class you are editing you will likely pick up on it.
+Naturally new classes are a little harder; you may want to come
+back and consult this section when creating them.
+
+[[design]]
+== Design
+
+Here are some design level objectives that you should keep in mind
+when coding:
+
+  * Most client pages should perform only one RPC to load so as to
+    keep latencies down.  Exceptions would apply to RPCs which need
+    to load large data sets if splitting them out will help the
+    page load faster.  Generally page loads are expected to complete
+    in under 100ms.  This will be the case for most operations,
+    unless the data being fetched is not using Gerrit's caching
+    infrastructure.  In these slower cases, it is worth considering
+    mitigating this longer load by using a second RPC to fill in
+    this data after the page is displayed (or alternatively it might
+    be worth proposing caching this data).
+  * `@Inject` should be used on constructors, not on fields.  The
+    current exceptions are the ssh commands, these were implemented
+    earlier in Gerrit's development.  To stay consistent, new ssh
+    commands should follow this older pattern; but eventually these
+    should get converted to eliminate this exception.
+  * Don't leave repository objects (git or schema) open.  Use a
+    try-with-resources statement to ensure that repository objects get
+    closed after use.
+  * Don't leave UI components, which can cause new actions to occur,
+    enabled during RPCs which update Git repositories, including NoteDb.
+    This is to prevent people from submitting actions more than once
+    when operating on slow links.  If the action buttons are disabled,
+    they cannot be resubmitted and the user can see that Gerrit is still
+    busy.
+
+[[tests]]
+== Tests
+
+  * Tests for new code will greatly help your change get approved.
+
+[[change-size]]
+== Change Size/Number of Files Touched
+
+And finally, I probably cannot say enough about change sizes.
+Generally, smaller is better, hopefully within reason.  Do try to
+keep things which will be confusing on their own together,
+especially if changing one without the other will break something!
+
+  * If a new feature is implemented and it is a larger one, try to
+    identify if it can be split into smaller logical features; when
+    in doubt, err on the smaller side.
+  * Separate bug fixes from feature improvements.  The bug fix may
+    be an easy candidate for approval and should not need to wait
+    for new features to be approved.  Also, combining the two makes
+    reviewing harder since then there is no clear line between the
+    fix and the feature.
+  * Separate supporting refactoring from feature changes.  If your
+    new feature requires some refactoring, it helps to make the
+    refactoring a separate change which your feature change
+    depends on.  This way, reviewers can easily review the refactor
+    change as a something that should not alter the current
+    functionality, and feel more confident they can more easily
+    spot errors this way.  Of course, it also makes it easier to
+    test and locate later on if an unfortunate error does slip in.
+    Lastly, by not having to see refactoring changes at the same
+    time, it helps reviewers understand how your feature changes
+    the current functionality.
+  * Separate logical features into separate changes.  This
+    is often the hardest part.  Here is an example:  when adding a
+    new ability, make separate changes for the UI and the ssh
+    commands if possible.
+  * Do only what the commit message describes.  In other words, things which
+    are not strictly related to the commit message shouldn't be part of
+    a change, even trivial things like externalizing a string somewhere
+    or fixing a typo.  This helps keep `git blame` more useful in the future
+    and it also makes `git revert` more useful.
+  * Use topics to link your separate changes together.

+= Gerrit Code Review - Design Docs
+
+For the link:dev-contributing.html#design-driven-contribution-process[
+design-driven contribution process] it is required to specify features
+upfront in a design doc.
+
+[[structure]]
+== Design Doc Structure
+
+A design doc should discuss the following aspects:
+
+* Use-Cases:
+  The interactions between a user and a system to attain particular
+  goals.
+* Acceptance Criteria
+  Conditions that must be satisfied to consider the feature as done.
+* Background:
+  Stuff one needs to know to understand the use-cases (e.g. motivating
+  examples, previous versions and problems, links to related
+  changes/design docs, etc.)
+* Possible Solutions:
+  Possible solutions with the pros and cons, and explanation of
+  implementation details.
+* Conclusion:
+  Which decision was made and what were the reasons for it.
+
+[[collaboration]]
+As community we want to collaborate on design docs as much as possible
+and write them together, in an iterative manner. To make this work well
+design docs are split into multiple files that can be written and
+refined by several persons in parallel:
+
+* `index.md`:
+  Entry file that links to the files below (also see
+  'dev-design-doc-index-template.md').
+* `use-cases.md`:
+  Describes the use-cases, acceptance criteria and background (also see
+  'dev-design-doc-use-cases-template.md').
+* `solution-<n>.md`:
+  Each possible solution (with the pros and cons, and implementation
+  details) is described in a separate file (also see
+  'dev-design-doc-solution-template.md').
+* `conclusion.md`:
+  Describes the conclusion of the design discussion (also see
+  'dev-design-doc-conclusion-template.md').
+
+[[expectation]]
+It is expected that:
+
+* An agreement on the use-cases is achieved before solutions are being
+  discussed in detail.
+* Anyone who has ideas for an alternative solution uploads a change
+  with a `solution-<n>.md` that describes their solution. In case of
+  doubt whether an idea is a refinement of an existing solution or an
+  alternative solution, it's up to the owner of the discussed solution
+  to decide if the solution should be updated, or if the proposer
+  should start a new alternative solution.
+* All possible solutions are fairly discussed with their pros and cons,
+  and treated equally until a conclusion is made.
+* Unrelated issues (judged by the design doc owner) that are identified
+  during discussions may be extracted into new design docs (initially
+  consisting only of an `index.md` and a `use-cases.md` file). Doing so
+  is optional yet can be done by either the design owner or reviewers.
+* Changes making iterative improvements can be submitted frequently
+  (e.g. additional uses-cases can be added later, solutions can be
+  submitted without describing implementation details, etc.).
+* After a conclusion has been approved contributors are expected to
+  keep the design doc updated and fill in gaps while they go forward
+  with the implementation.
+
+[[propose]]
+== How to propose a new design?
+
+To propose a new design, upload a change to the
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/homepage[
+homepage] repository that adds a new folder under `pages/design-docs/`
+which contains at least an `index.md` and a `uses-cases.md` file (see
+link:#structure[design doc structure] above).
+
+Pushing a design doc for review requires to be a
+link:dev-roles.html#contributor[contributor].
+
+When contributing design docs, contributors should make clear whether
+they are committed to do the implementation. It is possible to
+contribute designs without having resources to do the implementation,
+but in this case the implementation is only done if someone volunteers
+to do it (which is not guaranteed to happen).
+
+Only very few maintainers actively watch out for uploaded design docs.
+To raise awareness you may want to send a notification to the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss]
+mailing list about your uploaded design doc. But the discussion should
+not take place on the mailing list, comments should be made by reviewing
+the change in Gerrit.
+
+[[review]]
+== Design doc review
+
+Everyone in the link:dev-roles.html[Gerrit community] is welcome to
+take part in the design review and comment on the design. As such, every
+design reviewer is expected to respect the community
+link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/codeofconduct.html[Code of Conduct].
+
+Ideas for alternative solutions should be uploaded as a change that
+describes the solution (see link:#collaboration[above]). This should be
+done as early as possible during the review process, so that related
+comment threads stop there and do not clutter the current review. It is up
+to the alternative reviews to then host their related comments.
+
+Verification should be based on the generated `jekyll` site using the
+local `docker`, rather than via the rendering in `gitiles` (via
+`gerrit-review`).
+
+Changes which make a conclusion on a design (changes that add/change
+the `conclusion.md` file, see link:#structure[Design Doc Structure])
+should stay open for a minimum of 10 calendar days so that everyone has
+a fair chance to see them. It is important that concerns regarding a
+feature are raised during this time frame since once a conclusion is
+approved and submitted the implementation may start immediately.
+
+Other design doc changes can and should be submitted quickly so that
+collaboration and iterative refinements work smoothly (see
+link:#collaboration[above]).
+
+For proposed features the contributor should hear back from the
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[engineering steering
+committee] within 14 calendar days whether the proposed feature is in
+scope of the project and if it can be accepted.
+
+[[watch-designs]]
+== How to get notified for new design docs?
+
+. Go to the
+  link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/settings/#Notifications[
+  notification settings]
+. Add a project watch for the `homepage` repository with the following
+  query: `dir:pages/design-docs`

-
-Rietveld can't be used as it does not provide the "submit over the
-web" feature that Gerrit provides for Git.
-
-Gitosis can't be used as it does not provide any code review
-features, but it does provide basic access controls.
-
-Email based code review does not scale to a project as large and
-complex as Android.  Most contributors at least need some sort of
-dashboard to keep track of any pending reviews, and some way to
-correlate updated revisions back to the comments written on prior
-revisions of the same logical change.

+= Plugin Lifecycle
+
+Most of the plugins are hosted on the same instance as the
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[Gerrit project itself] to make them
+more discoverable and have more chances to be reviewed by the whole community.
+
+[[hosting_lifecycle]]
+== Hosting Lifecycle
+
+The process of writing a new plugin goes through different phases:
+
+- Ideation and Discussion:
++
+The idea of creating a new plugin is posted and discussed on the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss] mailing list.
++
+Also see section link#ideation_discussion[Ideation and discussion] below.
+
+- Prototyping (optional):
++
+The author of the plugin creates a working prototype on a public repository
+accessible to the community.
++
+Also see section link#plugin_prototyping[Plugin Prototyping] below.
+
+- Proposal and Hosting:
++
+The author proposes to release the plugin under the
+link:https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html[Apache 2.0 OpenSource
+license] and requests the plugin to be hosted on
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[the Gerrit project site]. The
+proposal must be   accepted by at least one Gerrit maintainer. In case of
+disagreement between maintainers, the issue can be escalated to the
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[Engineering Steering Committee]. If
+the plugin is accepted, the Gerrit maintainer creates the project under the
+plugins path on link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[the Gerrit project
+site].
++
+Also see section link#plugin_proposal[Plugin Proposal] below.
+
+- Build:
++
+To make the consumption of the plugin easy and to notice plugin breakages early
+the plugin author should setup build jobs on
+link:https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com[the GerritForge CI] that build the
+plugin for each Gerrit version that it supports.
++
+Also see section link#build[Build] below.
+
+- Development and Contribution:
++
+The author develops a production-ready code base of the plugin, with
+contributions, reviews, and help from the Gerrit community.
++
+Also see section link#development_contribution[Development and contribution]
+below.
+
+- Release:
++
+The author releases the plugin by creating a Git tag and announcing the plugin
+on the link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss]
+mailing list.
++
+Also see section link#plugin_release[Plugin release] below.
+
+- Maintenance:
++
+The author maintains their plugins as new Gerrit versions are released, updates
+them when necessary, develops further existing or new features and reviews
+incoming contributions.
+
+- Deprecation:
++
+The author declares that the plugin is not maintained anymore or is deprecated
+and should not be used anymore.
++
+Also see section link#plugin_deprecation[Plugin deprecation] below.
+
+[[ideation_discussion]]
+== Ideation and Discussion
+
+Starting a new plugin project is a community effort: it starts with the
+identification of a gap in the Gerrit Code Review product but evolves with the
+contribution of ideas and suggestions by the whole community.
+
+The ideator of the plugin starts with an RFC (Request For Comments) post on the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss] mailing list
+with a description of the main reasons for starting a new plugin.
+
+Example of a post:
+
+----
+  [RFC] Code-Formatter plugin
+
+  Hello, community,
+  I am proposing to create a new plugin for Gerrit called 'Code-Formatter', see
+  the details below.
+
+  *The gap*
+  Often, when I post a new change to Gerrit, I forget to run the common code
+  formatting tool (e.g. Google-Java-Format for the Gerrit project). I would
+  like Gerrit to be in charge of highlighting these issues to me and save many
+  people's time.
+
+  *The proposal*
+  The Code-Formatter plugin reads the formatting rules in the project config
+  and applies them automatically to every patch-set. Any issue is reported as a
+  regular review comment to the patchset, highlighting the part of the code to
+  be changed.
+
+  What do you think? Did anyone have the same idea or need?
+----
+
+The idea is discussed on the mailing list and can evolve based on the needs and
+inputs from the entire community.
+
+After the discussion, the ideator of the plugin can decide to start prototyping
+on it or park the proposal, if the feedback provided an alternative solution to
+the problem. The prototype phase can be optionally skipped if the idea is clear
+enough and receives a general agreement from the Gerrit maintainers. The author
+can be given a "leap of faith" and can go directly to the format plugin
+proposal (see below) and the creation of the plugin repository.
+
+[[plugin_prototyping]]
+== Plugin Prototyping
+
+The initial idea is translated to code by the plugin author. The development
+can happen on any public or private source code repository and can involve one
+or more contributors. The purpose of prototyping is to verify that the idea can
+be implemented and provides the expected benefits.
+
+Once a working prototype is ready, it can be announced as a follow-up to the
+initial RFC proposal so that other members of the community can see the code
+and try the plugin themselves.
+
+[[plugin_proposal]]
+== Plugin Proposal
+
+The author decides that the plugin prototype makes sense as a general purpose
+plugin and decides to release the code with the same
+link:https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html[Apache 2.0 license]
+as the Gerrit Code Review project and have it hosted on
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[the Gerrit project site].
+
+The plugin author formalizes the proposal with a follow-up of the initial RFC
+post and asks for public opinion on it.
+
+Example:
+
+----
+  Re - [RFC] Code-Formatter plugin
+
+  Hello, community,
+  thanks for your feedback on the prototype. I have now decided to donate the
+  project to the Gerrit Code Review project and make it a plugin:
+
+  Plugin name:
+  /plugins/code-formatter
+
+  Plugin description:
+    Plugin to allow automatic posting review based on code-formatting rules
+----
+
+The community discusses the proposal and the value of the plugin for the whole
+project; the result of the discussion can end up in one of the following cases:
+
+- The plugin's project request is widely appreciated and formally accepted by
+  at least one Gerrit maintainer who creates the repository as child project of
+  'Public-Projects' on link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[the Gerrit
+  project site], creates an associated plugin owners group with "Owner"
+  permissions for the plugin and adds the plugin's author as member of it.
+- The plugin's project is widely appreciated; however, another existing plugin
+  already partially covers the same use-case and thus it would make more sense
+  to have the features integrated into the existing plugin. The new plugin's
+  author contributes his prototype commits refactored to be included as change
+  into the existing plugin.
+- The plugin's project is found useful; however, it is too specific to the
+  author's use-case and would not make sense outside of it. The plugin remains
+  in a public repository, widely accessible and OpenSource, but not hosted on
+  link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com[the Gerrit project site].
+
+[[build]]
+== Build
+
+The plugin's maintainer creates a job on the
+link:https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com[GerritForge CI] by creating a new YAML
+definition in the link:https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit-ci-scripts[Gerrit
+CI Scripts] repository.
+
+Example of a YAML CI job for plugins:
+
+----
+  - project:
+    name: code-formatter
+    jobs:
+      - 'plugin-{name}-bazel-{branch}':
+          branch:
+            - master
+----
+
+[[development_contribution]]
+== Development and Contribution
+
+The plugin follows the same lifecycle as Gerrit Code Review and needs to be
+kept up-to-date with the current active branches, according to the
+link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/#support[current support policy].
+During the development, the plugin's maintainer can reward contributors
+requesting to be more involved and making them maintainers of his plugin,
+adding them to the list of the project owners.
+
+[[plugin_release]]
+== Plugin Release
+
+The plugin's maintainer is the only person responsible for making and
+announcing the official releases, typically, but not limited to, in conjunction
+with the major releases of Gerrit Code Review. The plugin's maintainer may tag
+his plugin and follow the notation and semantics of the Gerrit Code Review
+project; however it is not mandatory and many of the plugins do not have any
+tags or releases.
+
+Example of a YAML CI job for a plugin compatible with multiple Gerrit versions:
+
+----
+  - project:
+    name: code-formatter
+    jobs:
+      - 'plugin-{name}-bazel-{branch}-{gerrit-branch}':
+          branch:
+            - master
+          gerrit-branch:
+            - master
+            - stable-3.0
+            - stable-2.16
+----
+
+[[plugin_deprecation]]
+== Plugin Deprecation
+
+The plugin's maintainer and the community have agreed that the plugin is not
+useful anymore or there isn't anyone willing to contribute to bringing it
+forward and keeping it up-to-date with the recent versions of Gerrit Code
+Review.
+
+The plugin's maintainer puts a deprecation notice in the README.md of the
+plugin and pushes it for review. If nobody is willing to bring the code
+forward, the change gets merged, and the master branch is removed from the list
+of branches to be built on the GerritFoge CI.

+[[change-etag-computation]]
+== Change ETag Computation
+
+By implementing the `com.google.gerrit.server.change.ChangeETagComputation`
+interface plugins can contribute a value to the change ETag computation.
+
+Plugins can affect the result of the get change / get change details REST
+endpoints by:
+
+* providing link:#query_attributes[plugin defined attributes] in
+  link:rest-api-changes.html#change-info[ChangeInfo]
+* implementing a link:#pre-submit-evaluator[pre-submit evaluator] which affects
+  the computation of `submittable` field in
+  link:rest-api-changes.html#change-info[ChangeInfo]
+
+If the plugin defined part of link:rest-api-changes.html#change-info[
+ChangeInfo] depends on plugin specific data, callers that use change ETags to
+avoid unneeded recomputations of ChangeInfos may see outdated plugin attributes
+and/or outdated submittable information, because a ChangeInfo is only reloaded
+if the change ETag changes.
+
+By implementating the `com.google.gerrit.server.change.ChangeETagComputation`
+interface plugins can contribute to the ETag computation and thus ensure that
+the change ETag changes when the plugin data was changed. This way it can be
+ensured that callers do not see outdated ChangeInfos.
+
+IMPORTANT: Change ETags are computed very frequently and the computation must
+be cheap. Take good care to not perform any expensive computations when
+implementing this.

+
+[[project-governance]]
+[[steering-committee]]
+== Project Governance / Engineering Steering Committee
+
+The Gerrit project has an engineering steering committee (ESC) that is
+in charge of:
+
+* Gerrit core (the `gerrit` project) and the core plugins
+* defining the project vision and the project scope
+* maintaining a roadmap, a release plan and a prioritized backlog
+* ensuring timely design reviews
+* ensuring that new features are compatible with the project vision and
+  are well aligned with other features (give feedback on new
+  link:dev-design-docs.html[design docs] within 14 calendar days)
+* approving/rejecting link:dev-design-docs.html[designs], vetoing new
+  features
+* assigning link:dev-roles.html#mentor[mentors] for approved features
+* accepting new plugins as core plugins
+* making changes to the project governance process and the
+  link:dev-contributing.html#contribution-processes[contribution
+  processes]
+
+The steering committee has 5 members:
+
+* 3 Googlers that are appointed by Google
+* 2 non-Google maintainers, elected by non-Google maintainers for the
+  period of 1 year (see link:#steering-committee-election[below])
+
+Refer to the project homepage for the link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/members.html#engineering-steering-committee[
+list of current committee members].
+
+The steering committee should act in the interest of the Gerrit project
+and the whole Gerrit community.
+
+For decisions, consensus between steering committee members and all
+other maintainers is desired. If consensus cannot be reached, decisions
+can also be made by simple majority in the steering committee (should
+be applied only in exceptional situations).
+
+The steering committee is empowered to overrule positive/negative votes
+from individual maintainers, but should do so only in exceptional
+situations after attempts to reach consensus have failed.
+
+As an integral part of the Gerrit community, the steering committee is
+committed to transparency and to answering incoming requests in a
+timely manner.
+
+[[steering-committee-election]]
+=== Election of non-Google steering committee members
+
+The election of the non-Google steering committee members happens once
+a year in May. Non-Google link:dev-roles.html#maintainer[maintainers]
+can nominate themselves by posting an informal application on the
+non-public maintainers mailing list by end of April (deadline for 2019
+is Mon 13th of May). By applying to be steering committee member, the
+candidate confirms to be able to dedicate the time that is needed to
+fulfill this role (also see
+link:dev-roles.html#steering-committee-member[steering committee
+member]).
+
+Each non-Google maintainer can vote for 2 candidates. The voting
+happens by posting on the maintainer mailing list. The voting period is
+14 calendar days from the nomination deadline (except for 2019, where
+the initial steering committee should be confirmed during the Munich
+hackathon, the voting period goes from 14th May to 16th May).
+
+Google maintainers do not take part in this vote, because Google
+already has dedicated seats in the steering committee (see section
+link:steering-committee[steering committee]).

+== Contribution Process

+[[design-doc-review]]
+== Design Doc Review
+
+See link:dev-design-docs.html#review[here].
+
+[[versioning]]
+== Semantic versioning
+
+Gerrit follows a light link:https://semver.org/[semantic versioning scheme] MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH[.HOTFIX]]
+format:
+
+  * MAJOR is incremented when there are substantial incompatible changes and/or
+    new features in Gerrit.
+  * MINOR is incremented when there are changes that are typically backward compatible
+    with the earlier minor version. Features can be removed following the
+    link:#deprecating-features[feature deprecation process]. Dependencies can be upgraded
+    according to the link:dev-processes.html#upgrading-libraries[libraries upgrade policy].
+  * PATCH is incremented when there are backward-compatible bug fixes in Gerrit or its
+    dependencies. When PATCH is zero, it can be omitted.
+  * HOTFIX is present only when immediately after a patch release, some urgent
+    fixes in the code or the packaging format are required but do not justify a
+    new patch release.
+
+For every MAJOR.MINOR release there is an associated stable branch that follows well defined
+link:#dev-in-stable-branches[rules of development].
+
+Within a stable branch, there are multiple MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH tags created associated to the
+bug-fix releases of that stable release.
+
+Examples:
+
+* Gerrit v3.0.0 contains breaking incompatible changes in the functionality because
+  the ReviewDb storage has been totally removed.
+* Gerrit v2.15 contains brand-new features like NoteDb, however, still supports the existing
+  ReviewDb storage for changes and thus is considered a minor release.
+* Gerrit v2.14.20 is the 20th patch-release of the stable Gerrit v2.14.* and thus does not contain
+  new features but only bug-fixes.
+
+[[dev-in-stable-branches]]
+== Development in stable branches
+
+As their name suggests stable branches are intended to be stable. This means that generally
+only bug-fixes should be done on stable branches, however this is not strictly enforced and
+exceptions may apply:
+
+  * When a stable branch is initially created to prepare a new release the Gerrit community
+    discusses on the mailing list if there are pending features which should still make it into the
+    release. Those features are blocking the release and should be implemented on the stable
+    branch before the first release candidate is created.
+  * To stabilize the code before doing a major release several release candidates are created. Once
+    the first release candidate was done no more features should be accepted on the stable branch.
+    If more features are found to be required they should be discussed with the steering committee
+    and should only be allowed if the risk of breaking things is considered to be low.
+  * Once a major release is done only bug-fixes and documentation updates should be done on the
+    stable branch. These updates will be included in the next minor release.
+  * For minor releases new features could be acceptable if the following conditions are met:
+    ** they are result of a new feature introduced through a merge of an earlier stable branch
+    ** they are justified for completing, extending or fixing an existing feature
+    ** does not involve API, user-interface changes or data migrations
+    ** is backward compatible with all existing features
+    ** the parts of the code in common with existing features are properly covered by end-to-end tests
+    ** is important to the Gerrit community and no Gerrit maintainers have raised objections.
+  * In cases of doubt or conflicting opinions on new features, it's the responsibility of the
+    steering committee to evaluate the risk of new features and make a decision based on these
+    rules and opinions from the Gerrit community.
+  * The older a stable branch is the more stable it should be. This means old stable branches
+    should only receive bug-fixes that are either important or low risk. Security fixes, including
+    security updates for third party dependencies, are always considered as important and hence can
+    always be done on stable branches.
+
+Examples:
+
+* Gerrit v3.0.0-rc1 and v3.0.0-rc2 may contain new features and API changes without notice,
+  even if they are both cut on the same stable-3.0 branch.
+* Gerrit v2.14.8 introduced the support for ElasticSearch as a new feature. This was an exception
+  agreed amongst the Gerrit maintainers, did not touch the Lucene indexing code-base, was supported
+  by container-based E2E tests and represents a completion of an high-level feature.
+
+[[backporting]]
+== Backporting to stable branches
+
+From time to time bug fix releases are made for existing stable branches.
+
+Developers concerned with stable branches are encouraged to backport or push fixes to these
+branches, even if no new release is planned. Backporting features is only possible in compliance
+with the rules link:#dev-in-stable-branches[above].
+
+Fixes that are known to be needed for a particular release should be pushed for review on that
+release's stable branch. They will then be included into the master branch when the stable branch
+is merged back.
+
+[[security-issues]]
+== Dealing with Security Issues
+
+If a security vulnerability in Gerrit is discovered, we place an link:#embargo[
+embargo] on it until a fixed release or mitigation is available. Fixing the
+issue is usually pursued with high priority (depends on the severity of the
+security vulnerability). The embargo is lifted and the vulnerability is
+disclosed to the community as soon as a fix release or another mitigation is
+available.
+
+[[report-security-issue]]
+=== How to report a security vulnerability?
+
+To report a security vulnerability file a
+link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/entry?template=Security+Issue[
+security issue] in the Gerrit issue tracker. The visibility of issues that are
+created with the `Security Issue` template is automatically restricted to
+Gerrit maintainers and a few long-term contributors. This means as a reporter
+you may not be able to see the issue once it is created. Security issues are
+created on the `ESC` component so that they will be discussed at the next
+meeting of the link:#steering-committee[Engineering Steering Committee] which
+takes place biweekly.
+
+If an existing issue is found to be a security vulnerability it should be
+turned into a security issue by:
+
+. Setting the component to `ESC`
+. Adding the labels `Security` and `NonPublic`
+
+In case of doubt, or if an issue cannot wait until the next ESC meeting,
+contact the link:#steering-committee[Engineering Steering Committee] directly
+by sending them an mailto:gerritcodereview-esc@googlegroups.com[email].
+
+If needed, the ESC will contact the reporter for additional details.
+
+[[embargo]]
+=== The Embargo
+
+Once an issue has been identified as security vulnerability, we keep it under
+embargo until a fixed release or a mitigation is available. This means that the
+issue is not discussed publicly, but only on issues with restricted visibility
+(see link:#report-security-issue[above]) and at the mailing lists of the ESC,
+community managers and Gerrit maintainers. Since the `repo-discuss` mailing
+list is public, security issues must not be discussed on this mailing list
+while the embargo is in place.
+
+The reason for keeping an embargo is to prevent attackers from taking advantage
+of a vulnerability while no fixed releases are available yet, and Gerrit
+administrators cannot make their systems secure.
+
+Once a fix release or mitigation is available, the embargo is lifted and the
+community is informed about the security vulnerability with the advise to
+address the security vulnerability immediately (either by upgrading to a fixed
+release or applying the mitigation). The information about the security
+vulnerability is disclosed via the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss] mailing list.
+
+[[handle-security-issue]]
+=== Handling of the Security Vulnerability
+
+. Engineering Steering Committee evaluates the security vulnerability:
++
+The ESC discusses the security vulnerability and which actions should be taken
+to address it. One person, usually one of the Gerrit maintainers, should be
+appointed to drive and coordinate the investigation and the fix of the security
+vulnerability. This coordinator doesn't need to do all the work alone, but is
+responsible that the security vulnerability is getting fixed in a timely
+manner.
++
+If the security vulnerability affects multiple or older releases the ESC should
+decide which of the releases should be fixed. For critical security issue we
+also consider fixing old releases that are otherwise not receiving any
+bug-fixes anymore.
++
+It's also possible that the ESC decides that an issue is not a security issue
+and the embargo is lifted immediately.
+
+. Implementation of the security fix:
++
+To keep the embargo intact, security fixes cannot be developed and reviewed in
+the public `gerrit` repository. In particular it's not secure to use private
+changes for implementing and reviewing security fixes (see general notes about
+link:intro-user.html[security-fixes]).
++
+Instead security fixes should be implemented and reviewed in the non-public
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/admin/repos/gerrit-security-fixes[
+gerrit-security-fixes] repository which is only accessible by Gerrit
+maintainers and Gerrit community members that work on security fixes.
++
+The change that fixes the security vulnerability should contain an integration
+test that verifies that the security vulnerability is no longer present.
++
+Review and approval of the security fixes must be done by the Gerrit
+maintainers. Verifications must be done manually since the Gerrit CI doesn't
+build and test changes of the `gerrit-security-fixes` repository (and it
+shouldn't because everything on the CI server is public which would break
+the embargo).
++
+Once a security fix is ready and submitted, it should be cherry-picked to all
+branches that should be fixed.
+
+. Creation of fixed releases and announcement of the security vulnerability:
++
+A release manager should create new bug fix releases for all fixed branches.
++
+The new releases should be tested against the security vulnerability to
+double-check that the release was built from the correct source that contains
+the fix for the security vulnerability.
++
+Before publishing the fixed releases, an announcement to the Gerrit community
+should be prepared. The announcement should clearly describe the security
+vulnerability, which releases are affected and which releases contain the fix.
+The announcement should recommend to upgrade to fixed releases immediately.
++
+Once all releases are ready and tested and the announcement is prepared, the
+releases should be all published at the same time. Immediately after that, the
+announcement should be sent out to the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss] mailing list.
++
+This ends the embargo and any issue that discusses the security vulnerability
+should be made public.
+
+. Follow-Up
++
+The ESC should discuss if there are any learnings from the security
+vulnerability and define action items to follow up in the
+link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit[issue tracker].
+
+[[upgrading-libraries]]
+== Upgrading Libraries
+
+Changes that add new libraries or upgrade existing libraries require an approval on the
+`Library-Compliance` label. For an approval the following things are checked:
+
+* The library has a license that is suitable for use within Gerrit.
+* If the library is used within Google, the version of the library must be compatible with the
+  version that is used at Google.
+
+Only maintainers from Google can vote on the `Library-Compliance` label.
+
+Gerrit's library dependencies should only be upgraded if the new version contains
+something we need in Gerrit. This includes new features, API changes as well as bug
+or security fixes.
+An exception to this rule is that right after a new Gerrit release was branched
+off, all libraries should be upgraded to the latest version to prevent Gerrit
+from falling behind. Doing those upgrades should conclude at the latest two
+months after the branch was cut. This should happen on the master branch to ensure
+that they are vetted long enough before they go into a release and we can be sure
+that the update doesn't introduce a regression.
+
+[[deprecating-features]]
+== Deprecating features
+
+Gerrit should be as stable as possible and we aim to add only features that last.
+However, sometimes we are required to deprecate and remove features to be able
+to move forward with the project and keep the code-base clean. The following process
+should serve as a guideline on how to deprecate functionality in Gerrit. Its purpose
+is that we have a structured process for deprecation that users, administrators and
+developers can agree and rely on.
+
+General process:
+
+  * Make sure that the feature (e.g. a field on the API) is not needed anymore or blocks
+    further development or improvement. If in doubt, consult the mailing list.
+  * If you can provide a schema migration that moves users to a comparable feature, do
+    so and stop here.
+  * Mark the feature as deprecated in the documentation and release notes.
+  * If possible, mark the feature deprecated in any user-visible interface. For example,
+    if you are deprecating a Git push option, add a message to the Git response if
+    the user provided the option informing them about deprecation.
+  * Annotate the code with `@Deprecated` and `@RemoveAfter(x.xx)` if applicable.
+    Alternatively, use `// DEPRECATED, remove after x.xx` (where x.xx is the version
+    number that has to be branched off before removing the feature)
+  * Gate the feature behind a config that is off by default (forcing admins to turn
+    the deprecated feature on explicitly).
+  * After the next release was branched off, remove any code that backed the feature.
+
+You can optionally consult the mailing list to ask if there are users of the feature you
+wish to deprecate. If there are no major users, you can remove the feature without
+following this process and without the grace period of one release.

+Everyone who has a valid link:dev-cla.html[contributor license
+agreement] and who has link:dev-contributing.html[contributed] at least
+one change to any project on
+link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/[
+gerrit-review.googlesource.com] is a contributor.
+
+Contributions can be:
+
+* new features
+* bug fixes
+* code cleanups
+* documentation updates
+* release notes updates
+* propose link:#dev-design-docs[design docs] as part of the
+  link:dev-contributing.html#design-driven-contribution-process[
+  design-driven contribution process]
+* scripts which are of interest to the community
+
+Contributors have all the permissions that link:#supporter[supporters]
+have. In addition they have signed a link:dev-cla.html[contributor
+license agreement] which enables them to push changes.
+
+Regular contributors can ask to be added to the `gerrit-verifiers`
+group, which allows to:
+
+* add patch sets to changes of other users
+* propose project config changes (push changes for the
+  `refs/meta/config` branch
+
+Being member of the `gerrit-verifiers` group includes further
+permissions (see link:#supporter[supporter] section above).
+
+It's highly appreciated if contributors engage in code reviews,
+link:dev-design-docs.html#review[design reviews] and mailing list
+discussions. If wanted, contributors can also serve as link:#mentor[
+mentors] to support other contributors with getting their features
+done.
+
+Contributors may also be invited to join the Gerrit hackathons which
+happen regularly (e.g. twice a year). Hackathons are announced on the
+link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[repo-discuss]
+mailing list (also see
+link:https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=Z29vZ2xlLmNvbV91YmIxcGxhNmlqNzg1b3FianI2MWg0dmRpc0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t[
+community calendar]).
+
+Outstanding contributors that are actively engaged in the community, in
+activities outlined above, may be nominated as link:#maintainer[
+maintainers].
+
+[[maintainer]]
+== Maintainer
+
+Maintainers are the gatekeepers of the project and are in charge of
+approving and submitting changes. Refer to the project homepage for
+the link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/members.html#maintainers[
+list of current maintainers].
+
+Maintainers should only approve changes that:
+
+* they fully understand
+* are in line with the project vision and project scope that are
+  defined by the link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[engineering steering
+  committee], and should consult them, when in doubt
+* meet the quality expectations of the project (well-tested, properly
+  documented, scalable, backwards-compatible)
+* implement usable features or bug fixes (no incomplete/unusable
+  things)
+* are not authored by themselves (exceptions are changes which are
+  trivial according to the judgment of the maintainer and changes that
+  are required by the release process and branch management)
+
+Maintainers are trusted to assess changes, but are also expected to
+align with the other maintainers, especially if large new features are
+being added.
+
+Maintainers are highly encouraged to dedicate some of their time to the
+following tasks (but are not required to do so):
+
+* reviewing changes
+* mailing list discussions and support
+* bug fixing and bug triaging
+* supporting the
+  link:dev-processes.html#design-driven-contribution-process[
+  design-driven contribution process] by reviewing incoming
+  link:dev-design-docs.html[design docs] and raising concerns during
+  the design review
+* serving as link:#mentor[mentor]
+* doing releases (see link#release-manager[release manager])
+
+Maintainers can:
+
+* approve changes (vote `+2` on the `Code-Review` label); when
+  approving changes, `-1` votes on the `Code-Review` label can be
+  ignored if there is a good reason, in this case the reason should be
+  clearly communicated on the change
+* submit changes
+* block submission of changes if they disagree with how a feature is
+  being implemented (vote `-2` on the `Code-Review` label), but their
+  vote can be overruled by the steering committee, see
+  link:dev-processes.html#project-governance[Project Governance]
+* nominate new maintainers and vote on nominations (see below)
+* administrate the link:https://groups.google.com/d/forum/repo-discuss[
+  mailing list], the
+  link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/list[issue tracker]
+  and the link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/[homepage]
+* gain permissions to do Gerrit releases and publish release artifacts
+* create new projects and groups on
+  link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/[
+  gerrit-review.googlesource.com]
+* administrate the Gerrit projects on
+  link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/[
+  gerrit-review.googlesource.com] (e.g. edit ACLs, update project
+  configuration)
+* create events in the
+  link:https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=Z29vZ2xlLmNvbV91YmIxcGxhNmlqNzg1b3FianI2MWg0dmRpc0Bncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t[
+  community calendar]
+* discuss with other maintainers on the private maintainers mailing
+  list and Slack channel
+
+In addition, maintainers from Google can:
+
+* approve/reject changes that update project dependencies (vote `-1` to
+  `+1` on the `Library-Compliance` label), see
+  link:dev-processes.html#upgrading-libraries[Upgrading Libraries]
+* edit permissions on the Gerrit core projects
+
+[[maintainer-election]]
+Maintainers can nominate new maintainers by posting a nomination on the
+non-public maintainers mailing list. Nominations should stay open for
+at least 14 calendar days so that all maintainers have a chance to
+vote. To be approved as maintainer a minimum of 5 positive votes and no
+negative votes is required. This means if 5 positive votes without
+negative votes have been reached and 14 calendar days have passed, any
+maintainer can close the vote and welcome the new maintainer. Extending
+the voting period during holiday season or if there are not enough
+votes is possible, but the voting period should not exceed 1 month. If
+there are negative votes that are considered unjustified, the
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[engineering steering
+committee] may get involved to decide whether the new maintainer can be
+accepted anyway.
+
+To become a maintainer, a link:#contributor[contributor] should have a
+history of deep technical contributions across different parts of the
+core Gerrit codebase. However, it is not required to be an expert on
+everything. Things that we want to see from potential maintainers
+include:
+
+* high quality code contributions
+* high quality code reviews
+* activity on the mailing list
+
+[[steering-committee-member]]
+== Engineering Steering Committee Member
+
+The Gerrit project has an Engineering Steering Committee (ESC) that
+governs the project, see link:dev-processes.html#project-governance[Project Governance].
+
+Members of the steering committee are expected to act in the interest
+of the Gerrit project and the whole Gerrit community. Refer to the project
+homepage for the link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/members.html#engineering-steering-committee[
+list of current committee members].
+
+For those that are familiar with scrum, the steering committee member
+role is similar to the role of an agile product owner.
+
+Steering committee members must be able to dedicate sufficient time to
+their role so that the steering committee can satisfy its
+responsibilities and live up to the promise of answering incoming
+requests in a timely manner.
+
+Community members may submit new items under the
+link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/list?q=component:ESC[ESC component]
+in the issue tracker, or add that component to existing items, to raise them to
+the attention of ESC members.
+
+Community members may contact the ESC members directly using
+mailto:gerritcodereview-esc@googlegroups.com[this mailing list].
+This is a group that remains private between the individual community
+member and ESC members.
+
+link:#maintainer[Maintainers] can become steering committee member by
+election, or by being appointed by Google (only for the seats that
+belong to Google).
+
+[[mentor]]
+== Mentor
+
+A mentor is a link:#maintainer[maintainer] or link:#contributor[
+contributor] who is assigned to support the development of a feature
+that was specified in a link:dev-design-docs.html[design doc] and was
+approved by the link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering
+committee].
+
+The goal of the mentor is to make the feature successful by:
+
+* doing timely reviews
+* providing technical guidance during code reviews
+* discussing details of the design
+* ensuring that the quality standards are met (well documented,
+  sufficient test coverage, backwards compatible etc.)
+
+The implementation is fully done by the contributor, but optionally
+mentors can help out with contributing some changes.
+
+link:#maintainer[Maintainers] and link:#contributor[contributors] can
+volunteer to generally serve as mentors, or to mentor specific features
+(e.g. if they see an upcoming feature on the roadmap that they are
+interested in). To volunteer as mentor, contact the
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee] or
+comment on a change that adds a link:dev-design-docs.html#propose[
+design doc].
+
+[[community-manager]]
+== Community Manager
+
+Community managers should act as stakeholders for the Gerrit community
+and focus on the health of the community. Refer to the project homepage
+for the link:https://www.gerritcodereview.com/members.html#community-managers[
+list of current community managers].
+
+Tasks:
+
+* act as stakeholder for the Gerrit community towards the
+  link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee[steering committee]
+* ensure that the link:dev-contributing.html#mentorship[mentorship
+  process] works
+* deescalate conflicts in the Gerrit community
+* constantly improve community processes (e.g. contribution process)
+* watch out for community issues and address them proactively
+* serve as contact person for community issues
+
+Community members may submit new items under the
+link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/list?q=component:Community[Community component]
+backlog, for community managers to refine. Only public topics should be
+issued through that backlog.
+
+Sensitive topics are to be privately discussed using
+mailto:gerritcodereview-community-managers@googlegroups.com[this mailing list].
+This is a group that remains private between the individual community
+member and community managers.
+
+The community managers should be a pair or trio that shares the work:
+
+* One Googler that is appointed by Google.
+* One or two non-Googlers, elected by the community if there are more
+  than two candidates. If there is no candidate, we only have the one
+  community manager from Google.
+
+Community managers must not be link:#steering-committee-member[
+steering committee members] at the same time so that they can represent
+the community without conflict of interest.
+
+Anybody from the Gerrit community can candidate as community manager.
+This means, in contrast to candidating for the ESC, candidating as
+community manager is not limited to Gerrit maintainers. Otherwise the
+nomination process, election process and election period for the
+non-Google community manager are the same as for
+link:dev-processes.html#steering-committee-election[steering committee
+members].
+
+[[release-manager]]
+== Release Manager
+
+Each major Gerrit release is driven by a Gerrit link:#maintainer[
+maintainer], the so called release manager.
+
+The release manager is responsible for:
+
+* identifying release blockers and informing about them
+* creating stable branches and updating version numbers
+* creating release candidates, the final major release and minor
+  releases
+* announcing releases on the mailing list and collecting feedback
+* ensuring that releases meet minimal quality expectations (Gerrit
+  starts, upgrade from previous version works)
+* publishing release artifacts
+* ensuring quality and completeness of the release notes
+* cherry-picking bug fixes, see link:dev-processes.html#backporting[
+  Backporting to stable branches]
+* estimating the risk of new features that are added on stable
+  branches, see link:dev-processes.html#dev-in-stable-branches[
+  Development in stable branches]
+
+Before each release, the release manager is appointed by consensus among
+the maintainers. Volunteers are welcome, but it's also a goal to fairly
+share this work between maintainers and contributing companies.

-
-* htmlText: string of HTML to be parsed.  A new unattached `<div>` is
-  created in the browser's document and the innerHTML property is
-  assigned to the passed string, after performing replacements.  If
-  the div has exactly one child, that child will be returned instead
-  of the div.
-
-* options: optional object reference supplying replacements for any
-  `{name}` references in htmlText.  Navigation through objects is
-  supported permitting `{style.bar}` to be replaced with `"foo"` if
-  options was `{style: {bar: "foo"}}`.  Value replacements are HTML
-  escaped before being inserted into the document fragment.
-
-* wantElements: if options is given and wantElements is also true
-  an object consisting of `{root: parsedElement, elements: {...}}` is
-  returned instead of the parsed element. The elements object contains
-  a property for each element using `id={name}` in htmlText.

-----
-var style = {bar: Gerrit.css('background: yellow')};
-Gerrit.html(

-----
-
-Event handlers can be automatically attached to elements referenced
-through an attribute id.  Object navigation is not supported for ids,
-and the parser strips the id attribute before returning the result.
-Handler functions must begin with `on` and be a function to be
-installed on the element.  This approach is useful for onclick and
-other handlers that do not want to create circular references that
-will eventually leak browser memory.
-
-.Example
-[source,javascript]
-----
-var options = {
-  link: {
-    onclick: function(e) { window.close() },
-  },
-};
-Gerrit.html('<a href="javascript:;" id="{link}">Close</a>', options);
-----
-
-When using options to install handlers care must be taken to not
-accidentally include the returned element into the event handler's
-closure.  This is why options is built before calling `Gerrit.html()`
-and not inline as a shown above with "Hello World".
-
-DOM nodes can optionally be returned, allowing handlers to access the
-elements identified by `id={name}` at a later point in time.
-
-.Example
-[source,javascript]
-----
-var w = Gerrit.html(
-    '<div>Name: <input type="text" id="{name}"></div>'
-  + '<div>Age: <input type="text" id="{age}"></div>'
-  + '<button id="{submit}"><div>Save</div></button>',
-  {
-    submit: {
-      onclick: function(s) {
-        var e = w.elements;
-        window.alert(e.name.value + " is " + e.age.value);
-      },
-    },
-  }, true);
-----
-
-To prevent memory leaks `w.root` and `w.elements` should be set to
-null when the elements are no longer necessary.  Screens can use
-link:#screen_onUnload[screen.onUnload()] to define a callback function
-to perform this cleanup:
-
-[source,javascript]

-var w = Gerrit.html(...);
-screen.body.appendElement(w.root);

+[[auto-retry]]
+== Automatic Request Tracing
+
+Gerrit can be link:config-gerrit.html#retry.retryWithTraceOnFailure[
+configured] to automatically retry requests on non-recoverable failures
+with tracing enabled. This allows to automatically captures traces of
+these failures for further analysis by the Gerrit administrators.
+
+The auto-retry on failure behaves the same way as if the calling user
+would retry the failed operation with tracing enabled.
+
+It is expected that the auto-retry fails with the same exception that
+triggered the auto-retry, however this is not guaranteed:
+
+* Not all Gerrit operations are fully atomic and it can happen that
+  some parts of the operation have been successfully performed before
+  the failure happened. In this case the auto-retry may fail with a
+  different exception.
+* Some exceptions may mistakenly be considered as non-recoverable and
+  the auto-retry actually succeeds.
+
+[[auto-retry-succeeded]]
+If an auto-retry succeeds you may consider filing this as
+link:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/entry?template=GoogleSource+Issue[
+Gerrit issue] so that the Gerrit developers can fix this and treat this
+exception as recoverable.
+
+The trace IDs for auto-retries are generated and start with
+`retry-on-failure-`. For REST requests they are returned to the client
+as `X-Gerrit-Trace` header.
+
+The best way to search for auto-retries in logs is to do a grep by
+`AutoRetry`. For each auto-retry that happened this should match 1 or 2
+log entries:
+
+* one `ERROR` log entry with the exception that triggered the
+  auto-retry
+* one `FINE` log entry with the exception that happened on auto-retry
+  (if this log entry is not present the operation succeeded on
+  auto-retry)
+
+To inspect single auto-retry occurrences in detail you can do a
+link:#find-trace[grep by the trace ID]. The trace ID is part of the log
+entries which have been found by the previous grep (watch out for
+something like: `retry-on-failure-1534166888910-3985dfba`).
+
+[TIP]
+Auto-retrying on failures is only supported by some of the REST
+endpoints (change REST endpoints that perform updates).
+
+[[auto-retry-metrics]]
+=== Metrics
+
+If auto-retry is link:config-gerrit.html#retry.retryWithTraceOnFailure[
+enabled] the following metrics are reported:
+
+* `action/auto_retry_count`: Number of automatic retries with tracing
+* `action/failures_on_auto_retry_count`: Number of failures on auto retry
+
+By comparing the values of these counters one can see how often the
+auto-retry succeeds. As explained link:#auto-retry-succeeded[above] if
+auto-retries succeed that's an issue with Gerrit that you may want to
+report.

-==== Manual Replacement Mapping
-
-[NOTE]
---
-The remainder of this section describes a manual method of replacing
-changes by matching each commit name to an existing change number.
-End-users should instead prefer to use Change-Id lines in their
-commit messages, as the process is then fully automated by Gerrit
-during normal uploads.
-
-See above for the preferred technique of replacing changes.
-
-Pushing directly to `refs/changes/` is deprecated. If you see the error
-message 'upload to refs/changes not allowed', it means that pushing directly
-to `refs/changes` is disabled on the Gerrit server and the below section does
-not apply to you.
---
-
-To add an additional patch set to a change, replacing it with an
-updated version of the same logical modification, send the new
-commit to the change's ref.  For example, to add the commit whose
-SHA-1 starts with `c0ffee` as a new patch set for change number
-`1979`, use the push refspec `c0ffee:refs/changes/1979` as below:
-
-----
-  git push ssh://sshusername@hostname:29418/projectname c0ffee:refs/changes/1979
-----
-
-This form can be combined together with `refs/for/'branchname'`
-(above) to simultaneously create new changes and replace changes
-during one network transaction.
-
-For example, consider the following sequence of events:
-
-----
-  $ git commit -m A                    ; # create 3 commits
-  $ git commit -m B
-  $ git commit -m C
-
-  $ git push ... HEAD:refs/for/master  ; # upload for review
-  ... A is 1500 ...
-  ... B is 1501 ...
-  ... C is 1502 ...
-
-  $ git rebase -i HEAD~3               ; # edit "A", insert D before B
-                                       ; # now series is A'-D-B'-C'
-  $ git push ...
-      HEAD:refs/for/master
-      HEAD~3:refs/changes/1500
-      HEAD~1:refs/changes/1501
-      HEAD~0:refs/changes/1502         ; # upload replacements
-----
-
-At the final step during the push Gerrit will attach A' as a new
-patch set on change 1500; B' as a new patch set on change 1501; C'
-as a new patch set on 1502; and D will be created as a new change.
-
-Ensuring D is created as a new change requires passing the refspec
-`HEAD:refs/for/branchname`, otherwise Gerrit will ignore D and
-won't do anything with it.  For this reason it is a good idea to
-always include the create change refspec when uploading replacements.

-""" Script to abandon stale changes from the review server.
-
-Fetches a list of open changes that have not been updated since a given age in
-days, months or years (default 6 months), and then abandons them.
-
-Requires the user's credentials for the Gerrit server to be declared in the
-.netrc file. Supports either basic or digest authentication.
-
-Example to abandon changes that have not been updated for 3 months:
-
-  ./abandon_stale --gerrit-url http://review.example.com/ --age 3months
-
-Supports dry-run mode to only list the stale changes, but not actually
-abandon them.
-
-See the --help output for more information about options.
-
-Requires pygerrit2 (https://github.com/dpursehouse/pygerrit2) to be installed
-and available for import.

+#   remote.NAME.push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

+#   remote.NAME.push = +refs/meta/*:refs/meta/*
+#

+#
+# Whenever a ref under refs/tmp/changes/ is arriving this hook will move it
+# to refs/changes/. This helps to avoid the large overhead of advertising all
+# refs/changes/ refs to the gerrit primary when it replicates changes to the
+# replica.
+#
+# Make this script executable then link to it in the repository you would like
+# to use it in.

+#   ln -sf <shared hooks directory>/post-receive-move-tmp-refs hooks/post-receive
+#
+# If you want to use this by default for repositories on the Gerrit replica you
+# can set up a git template directory $TEMPLATE_DIR/hooks/post-receive and
+# configure init.templateDir in the ~/.gitconfig of the user that receives the
+# replication on the mirror host. That way when a new repository is created on
+# the primary and hence on the mirror (if configured that way) it will
+# automatically have the "tmp-refs" commit hook installed.

  *
  * <p>Changing fields in this class changes the storage format of inline comments in NoteDb and may
  * require a corresponding data migration (adding new optional fields is generally okay).
- *
- * <p>{@link PatchLineComment} historically represented comments in ReviewDb. There are a few
- * notable differences:
- *
- * <ul>
- *   <li>PatchLineComment knows the comment status (published or draft). For comments in NoteDb the
- *       status is determined by the branch in which they are stored (published comments are stored
- *       in the change meta ref; draft comments are store in refs/draft-comments branches in
- *       All-Users). Hence Comment doesn't need to contain the status, but the status is implicitly
- *       known by where the comments are read from.
- *   <li>PatchLineComment knows the change ID. For comments in NoteDb, the change ID is determined
- *       by the branch in which they are stored (the ref name contains the change ID). Hence Comment
- *       doesn't need to contain the change ID, but the change ID is implicitly known by where the
- *       comments are read from.
- * </ul>
- *
- * <p>For all utility classes and middle layer functionality using Comment over PatchLineComment is
- * preferred, as ReviewDb is gone so PatchLineComment is slated for deletion as well. This means
- * Comment should be used everywhere and only for storing inline comment in ReviewDb a conversion to
- * PatchLineComment is done. Converting Comments to PatchLineComments and vice verse is done by
- * CommentsUtil#toPatchLineComments(Change.Id, PatchLineComment.Status, Iterable) and
- * CommentsUtil#toComments(String, Iterable).

- * <p>This is a low-level API. Read/write of preferences in a user branch should be done through

- *
- * <p>The config file has separate sections for general, diff and edit preferences:

- *
- * <p>The parameter names match the names that are used in the preferences REST API.
- *
- * <p>If the preference is omitted in the config file, then the default value for the preference is
- * used.
- *
- * <p>Defaults for preferences that apply for all accounts can be configured in the {@code
- * refs/users/default} branch in the {@code All-Users} repository. The config for the default
- * preferences must be provided to this class so that it can read default values from it.

+ *       implementation of this plugin extension we access the status of the thread local state in
+ *       the {@link LoggingContext} and store it locally in the plugin extension class.
+ *   <li>Do a request (e.g. REST) that triggers the plugin extension.
+ *   <li>When the plugin extension is invoked it records the current logging context.
+ *   <li>After the request is done the test verifies that logging context that was recorded by the
+ *       plugin extension has the expected state.

+## Polymer 2 upgrade
+
+Gerrit is updating to use polymer 2 from polymer 1 by following the [Polymer 2.0 upgrade guide](https://polymer-library.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/upgrade).
+
+Polymer 2 contains several breaking changes that may affect some of the UI features and plugins. One of the biggest change is to have the shadow DOM enabled. This will affect how you query elements inside of your component, how css style works within and across components, and several other usages.
+
+If you are owner of any plugins, please start following the [Polymer 2.0 upgrade guide](https://polymer-library.polymer-project.org/2.0/docs/upgrade) to migrate your plugins to be polymer 2 ready.
+
+If you notice any issues or need help with anything, don't hesitate to report to us [here](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/issues/list).

-Loading multiple plugin files:
+This method is based on a
+[simple hand-written Go webserver](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/polygerrit-ui/server.go).
+Mostly it just switches between serving files locally and proxying the real
+server based on the file name. It also does some basic response rewriting, e.g.
+it patches the `config/server/info` response with plugin information provided on
+the command line:
 
 ```sh
 ./polygerrit-ui/run-server.sh --plugins=plugins/my_plugin/static/my_plugin.js,plugins/my_plugin/static/my_plugin.html
 ```
 
+The biggest draw back of this method is that you cannot log in, so cannot test
+scenarios that require it.
+
+#### MITM Proxy
+
+[MITM Proxy](https://mitmproxy.org/) is an open source product for proxying
+https servers. The
+[contrib/mitm-ui/](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/contrib/mitm-ui/)
+directory contains scripts (and documentation) for using this technology
+(instead of the Go server). These scripts are somewhat experimental and
+unmaintained though.

+## Running locally against a Gerrit test site
+
+Set up a local test site once:
+
+1. [Build Gerrit](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/dev-bazel.html#_gerrit_development_war_file)
+2. [Set up a local test site](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/dev-readme.html#init).
+3. Optionally [populate](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/+/master/contrib/populate-fixture-data.py) your test site with some test data.
+
+For running a locally built Gerrit war against your test instance use
+[this command](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/dev-readme.html#run_daemon),
+and add the `--polygerrit-dev` option, if you want to serve the Polymer frontend
+directly from the sources in `polygerrit_ui/app/` instead of from the war:
+
+```sh
+$(bazel info output_base)/external/local_jdk/bin/java \

+    -jar bazel-bin/gerrit.war daemon \

+# Prolog Unit Test Examples
+
+## Run all examples
+
+Build a local gerrit.war and then run the script:
+
+    ./run.sh
+
+Note that a local Gerrit server is not needed because
+these unit test examples redefine wrappers of the `gerrit:change\*`
+rules to provide mocked change data.
+
+## Add a new unit test
+
+Please follow the pattern in `t1.pl`, `t2.pl`, or `t3.pl`.
+
+* Put code to be tested in a file, e.g. `rules.pl`.
+  For easy unit testing, split long clauses into short ones
+  and test every positive and negative path.
+
+* Create a new unit test file, e.g. `t1.pl`,
+  which should _load_ the test source file and `utils.pl`.
+
+      % First load all source files and the utils.pl.
+      :- load([aosp_rules,utils]).
+
+      :- begin_tests(t1).  % give this test any name
+
+      % Use test0/1 or test1/1 to verify failed/passed goals.
+
+      :- end_tests(_,0).   % check total pass/fail counts
+
+* Optionally replace calls to gerrit functions that depend on repository.
+  For example, define the following wrappers and in source code, use
+  `change_branch/1` instead of `gerrti:change_branch/1`.
+
+      change_branch(X) :- gerrit:change_branch(X).
+      commit_label(L,U) :- gerrit:commit_label(L,U).
+
+* In unit test file, redefine the gerrit function wrappers and test.
+  For example, in `t3.pl`, we have:
+
+      :- redefine(uploader,1,uploader(user(42))).  % mocked uploader
+      :- test1(uploader(user(42))).
+      :- test0(is_exempt_uploader).
+
+      % is_exempt_uploader/0 is expected to fail because it is
+      % is_exempt_uploader :- uploader(user(Id)), memberchk(Id, [104, 106]).
+
+      % Note that gerrit:remove_label does not depend on Gerrit repository,
+      % so its caller remove_label/1 is tested without any redefinition.
+
+      :- test1(remove_label('MyReview',[],[])).
+      :- test1(remove_label('MyReview',submit(),submit())).
