Governance

Project Lead

EloPhanto is maintained by its creator under a BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For Life) model. All major architectural decisions go through the project lead.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup and guidelines.

Decision Process

  • Bug fixes: Submit a PR directly.
  • Small features: Open an issue first for discussion, then PR.
  • Major changes: Write an RFC (see docs/RFC-TEMPLATE.md), discuss in an issue, get approval from project lead, then implement.
  • New skills: Follow SKILL_GUIDE.md, submit to EloPhantoHub.

RFC Process

For major architectural changes (new subsystems, protocol changes, breaking changes), write an RFC:

  1. Copy docs/RFC-TEMPLATE.md
  2. Fill in the template
  3. Open a PR with the RFC
  4. Discuss in PR comments
  5. Project lead approves or requests changes
  6. Merge RFC, then implement

Code of Conduct

Be respectful. Technical disagreements are welcome; personal attacks are not. The project lead has final say on disputes.

Releases

Releases follow calendar versioning: v2026.MM.DD. The project lead decides when to cut a release.
