🔴 (20:59) User supplied a 68-line added Project Governance document stating that the Valkey project covers all current and future repositories under the Valkey-io organization and is managed by a Technical Steering Committee (TSC) composed of maintainers of the main Valkey repository.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text defines maintainers as individuals with full repository commit access, requires that access to remain synchronized with each repository’s MAINTAINERS.md, and states that maintainers of other Valkey repositories do not become TSC members unless explicitly added.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text makes the TSC responsible for all technical, project, approval, and policy matters; lists TSC members in the main Valkey repository’s MAINTAINERS.md; and permits the TSC, at its discretion, to add or remove non-main-repository TSC members and maintainers of other Valkey repositories.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text requires the TSC to appoint a Chair to organize meetings and appoint a replacement if the Chair leaves that role or is removed from the TSC.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text establishes consensus as the preferred decision method without requiring explicit agreement from every TSC member; consensus is determined in good faith from factors including the dominant TSC view and the nature of support and objections, and evidence of consensus must be documented. If consensus fails, the TSC decides by vote.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text requires a vote when an issue or pull request is marked as a major decision with significant architectural or design impact. Listed examples are: 1. fundamental changes to Valkey core data structures; 2. adding a new data structure or API; 3. backward-compatibility changes; 4. new user-visible fields that must be maintained; 5. modifications to the TSC or other governance documents; 6. adding members to other Valkey-project roles; 7. delegating project maintainership to other groups or individuals; 8. adding or removing an external library such as a client or module.
🔴 (20:59) Under the supplied voting rules, any TSC member may call a vote with reasonable notice and separate discussion and voting periods; discussion may occur in person or electronically through text, voice, or video; discussion is public except for embargoed security issues and maintainer additions or removals, which are private.
🔴 (20:59) Under the supplied voting rules, each voting TSC member has one vote, members receive at least two weeks to vote, and decisions not governed by a special rule require a simple majority of all voting members; the TSC Chair is responsible for facilitating completion within the voting period.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied membership-termination rules remove maintainer access and the corresponding TSC position upon: 1. resignation by written notice to the TSC; 2. a 2/3 affirmative TSC removal vote; or 3. more than six months of unresponsiveness followed by a simple-majority removal vote of the remaining active TSC members.
🔴 (20:59) The supplied governance text requires Valkey-organization projects to identify people with commit permissions in their repository-level MAINTAINERS.md.
