summary
Project defines explicit roles maintainer collaborator contributor and counts a new area roughly every other week as code and reviewers scale. Concrete tools and paths include the dev review meeting triage, escalation to Architecture WG or TSC, CI checks and a welcome GitHub action, and using draft PRs to get early feedback. Guidance favors Zephyr modules over long-lived forks unless speed forces a fork, and the maintainer file plus better documentation must mark orphaned areas and required volunteers.
