The Plan

• TODO List

Obtaining Check-In Privileges

Contributors with a proven track record of good patch submissions and that have demonstrated an ability to work well with the community can obtain check-in privileges to the QtWebKit git repository.

The various branches of the git repository mirror the branches in the ​upstream public webkit svn repository. Patches that land on a branch in the git repository are not automatically pushed to the svn repository. Patches intended for the svn repository must first be reviewed and then committed by developers with ​sufficient privileges.

Patches that are not specific to the QtWebKit port of the webkit project should not be submitted to the git repository rather they should be contributed directly to the upstream public webkit svn repository.

To obtain check in privileges to the git repository the contributor should send a public ssh key to the ​administrator of the repository.
