pyOpenSci GitHub permissions

GitHub teams

pyOpenSci uses GitHub Teams to allocate permissions to contributors on GitHub. Our main teams are:

• the peer review team, the parent of our editorial teams (see editorial teams)

• the Packaging Council

• pyOpenSci maintainers

• the Translation Council

• the Lesson Development team

Team repository access

Each of the teams has access to the following pyOpenSci repositories:

Editorial board

These are individuals who serve on the pyOpenSci editorial board.

• software-peer-review repository

• software-submission

• pyopensci.github.io repository

Being on an editorial team does two separate things: it can give someone repository access, and it decides whether they’re listed on the editorial board page. See editorial teams for which team does what, who can change them, and how to add or remove an editor.

Packaging council

These are members who are actively working on our packaging projects in the organization.

• python-package-guide repository

• pyosPackage repository

• pyos-package-template

pyOpenSci repository maintainers

The pyOpenSci maintainers team has access to manage issues and operational tasks across pyOpenSci repositories. For a complete description of this team’s responsibilities, see the pyOpenSci maintainers role definition in our organizational structure documentation.

Translation council

These are people working on translations across our repos. There are currently no repos assigned to the translations team.

How permissions are granted

We liberally grant access to our GitHub repos to pyOpenSci community members. When we see a contributor actively engaging, we add them to the appropriate teams.
