2020
4. **Approval** - After a number of iterations, the maintainers of the library will generally approve a proposal with an informal "this seems like something we would accept a pull request for" comment in the issue.
2121
5. **Development** - A community member or maintainer creates a branch and makes the appropriate modifications to the code and tests and opens a pull request.
2222
6. **Review** - The maintainers of the library will review the pull request, working with the original authors to ensure the code is ready for merging.

7. **Long-term Maintenance** - Once the code is merged, the maintainers of the library are accountable for its maintenance, performance, security, bug fixes etc, although the original author of a feature is always welcome and encouraged to participate in this process!

### The Plotly.js Maintainers
26-
The current Plotly.js maintainers are all employees of Plotly (the company) and one of their primary responsibilities is ensuring the process above runs smoothly. It is worth noting that maintainers and non-maintainer Plotly employees all follow the process above: proposing changes, iterating on proposals and eventually developing and reviewing each other's pull requests. As mentioned above, maintainers are also accountable for bug fixes, performance, security, documentation and concerns that impact the long-term prospects for this library. In terms of development work, maintainers tend to prioritize issues that do or are likely to impact Plotly customers, as well as on [sponsored features or bug fixes](https://plot.ly/products/consulting-and-oem/). Sponsored work proceeds via the process listed above, albeit with the option of conducting portions of the "discussion" step in a confidential setting if desired. Please note that maintainers are happy and eager to help with community-led pull requests, independent of customer-driven development priorities :)
