In the case of pull requests proposed by an existing +Collaborator, an additional Collaborator is required for sign-off. + +In some cases, it may be necessary to summon a qualified Collaborator +to a pull request for review by @-mention. + +If you are unsure about the modification and are not prepared to take +full responsibility for the change, defer to another Collaborator. + +Before landing pull requests, sufficient time should be left for input +from other Collaborators.
