+## The Code Core Team (aka The Core Team)

+The "Core Team" (or the "Code Core Team", to disambiguate from the Spec Core
+Team) is a loose term that describes the set of people with access to commit
+code to the public https://github.com/matrix-org repositories, who are either
+working on matrix.org's reference implementations or the spec itself. Commit
+access is decided by those responsible for the projects in question, much like

+have proved themselves a valuable long-term contributor, upholds the guiding
+principles and mission of the project and have proved themselves able to
+collaborate constructively with the existing core team. Active participation in
+the core team is also signified by membership of the +matrix:matrix.org Matrix
+community.
+
+TODO: spell out some responsibilities.  Erik suggests something like:
+ * Helping to ensure the quality of the projects' repositories
+ * That all projects follow the Matrix spec
+ * Engaging with the people in a way that fosters a healthy and happy community
+ * Following the Guiding Principles and promoting them within the community
