+**Making a release:** Maintainers (listed in the repository's MAINTAINERS file) MUST announce intentions to release on the dev@opencontainers.org mailing list with another maintainer as a co-sponsor. Voting on proposed releases SHOULD happen on the dev@opencontainers.org mailing list (except [security fixes](#security-fixes)) with maintainers posting LGTM or REJECT. Maintainers may also explicitly not vote by posting ABSTAIN (which is useful to revert a previous vote). Maintainers may post multiple times (e.g. as they revise their position based on feeback), but only their final post counts in the final tally. A proposed release passes if two-thirds of votes cast, a quorum having voted, are in favor of the release. A quorum is established when at least two-thirds of maintainers have voted. Voting SHOULD remain open for a week, although under exceptional conditions (e.g. security fixes) non-major releases which reach quorum with unanimous support MAY be released earlier. For projects that are not specifications, a proposed release also passes if the final tally is at least three LGTMs and no REJECTs, even if three votes does not meet the usual two-thirds quorum.
