Individuals with direct commit access to ansible/ansible (+core, + extras) are entrusted with powers that allow them to do a broad variety of things--probably more than we can write down. Rather than rules, treat these as general *guidelines*, individuals with this power are expected to use their best judgement.
* Don’t
- Commit directly.
- Merge your own PRs. Someone else should have a chance to review and approve the PR merge. If you are a Core Committer, you have a small amount of leeway here for very minor changes.

- Forget to keep it simple. Complexity breeds all kinds of problems.
* Do
- Squash, avoid merges whenever possible, use github's squash commits or cherry pick if needed (bisect thanks you).
- Be active. Committers who have no activity on the project (through merges, triage, commits, etc.) will have their permissions suspended.
- Consider backwards compatibility (goes back to "don’t break existing playbooks").
