+## Governance
+
+The UAPI group membership and its specifications are governed as a Free Software project, with the following rules:
+
+* Anyone is welcome to submit comments and reviews
+* Every maintainer has the right to merge changes to all repositories, if they feel that they hold the expertise in the specific area.
+* Except for trivial changes, an approval from at least one maintainer who is not the author is required.
+* Regular contributors may be invited to join the maintainer team.
+
+
+The UAPI-group and its specifications are governed in similar ways to other free-software projects.
+Every maintainer has the right to merge to all the repositories, and might do so under the assumption that they hold the expertise needed to do so.
+Everybody is welcomed to contribute, and if contributions become regular and call the attention of the maintainer team, people might be invited to join.
