- New code must follow the same general style as the surrounding codebase. Exceptions may be granted in certain cases.
- Maintainers reserve the right to change your patches and pull requests at will. We will try to avoid this.
- - You should respect all decisions made by the [code owners](docs/CODEOWNERS) in your particular subsystem. If you feel they are overstepping or are incorrect, don't be afraid to stand your ground!
