-===========
-This file contains information about people who are permitted to make
-changes to RTEMS and its associated components and add-ons.  Please do
-not contact the people in this file directly to report problems with RTEMS.
-
-For general information about RTEMS, please visit: http://www.rtems.org
-
-To report problems in RTEMS, please visit: http://www.rtems.org/bugs.html
-
-RTEMS is maintained by collection of volunteers.  RTEMS is a very
-broad and diverse project which requires expertise in many areas.
-This breadth of knowledge exceeds the capabilities of any
-single person. Each volunteer has areas of expertise where they
-are more comfortable but each is capable of making technical
-decisions across the entirety of RTEMS.
-
-Blanket Write Privileges are granted to experienced RTEMS developers
-who can be trusted to distinguish between changes which require
-others to review, require a problem report, or can be safely committed
-with limited review.
-
-Write After Approval is granted to experienced but also trusted
-RTEMS developers.  These developers may be less familiar with
-the breadth of RTEMS.  Developers with write after approval need
-to submit their patches for review.  Once the patches have been approved by a
-developer with Blanket Write Privileges, the patches may be checked in.
-A BSP-specific patch may be checked in three work days after sending it to
-devel@rtems.org in case nobody explicitly rejected the patch.
-
-Localized Write Permission is for developers who have primary
-responsibility for a port and all associated BSPs, a BSP, or other
-specific aspects of RTEMS.  These folks are allowed to make changes to
-areas they maintain and related documentation, web pages, and test cases
-without approval from anyone else, and approve other people's changes
-in those areas. They must get approval for changes elsewhere in RTEMS.
-
-Emeritus Maintainers are those developers who have had Blanket Write
-Privileges in the past and who retain the honorary title of maintainer
-with the RTEMS Project.
