Ice Forge follows a maintainer-led governance model with explicit ownership, transparent decision-making, and controlled evolution.
Maintainers steward the roadmap, review contributions, and manage releases. Contributions are welcome and reviewed to ensure alignment with design principles and long-term maintainability.
Full governance details typically live alongside each project repository.
Significant changes are discussed and documented prior to implementation. Decisions consider operational impact, backward compatibility, and maintenance cost.
Releases are performed by maintainers and use semantic versioning. Breaking changes require a major version increment and are documented in release notes.
