clarify merging PRs for people with write access
Slightly rephrase the section about pull requests to clarify that a pull request can be merged either by the reviewer or the author (if they have push access) if they are satisfied with the feedback. Also discussed on IRC, e.g.: [2022-09-03 21:53:20Z] <toast> I think "whenever any reviewer feels comfortable with it, or the submitter thinks the given feedback is sufficient"

## Considerations to be made for all contributions
|
||||
|
||||
This project follows [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
|
||||
Significant changes should be listed in the changelog (i.e. the file called `CHANGELOG.md`).
|
||||
Significant changes should be listed in the changelog (i.e. the file called `CHANGELOG.md`, see also section "Changelog Trailer" below).
|
||||
Although Semantic Versioning talks about "the API", changes to the user interface should also be tracked.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider if any of the existing documentation has to be updated because of your contribution.

## Code contributions
|
||||
|
||||
There are two ways you can contribute:
|
||||
There are different "rules" of how you can contribute, depending on your access privileges to the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
If you **have push access** to this repository, you can push stuff directly.
|
||||
But y'know, "with great power comes great responsibility" and so on.
|
||||
We most likely will not kick you out if you made a mistake, it happens to the best.
|
||||
But this of course means that the erroneous contributions may be either fixed or undone.
|
||||
### Without push access
|
||||
|
||||
Even if you have push access but are trying to make larger or sweeping changes, please consider also using the following way of contibuting.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do **not have push access** you can create a pull request.
|
||||
If you do not have push access, you have to create a pull request to get your changes into Foundkey.
|
||||
Someone with push access should review your contribution.
|
||||
If they are satisfied that what you are doing seems like a good idea and the considerations from the section above are fulfilled, they can merge your pull request.
|
||||
Or, they might request another member to also review your changes.
|
||||
Please be patient as nobody is getting paid to do this, so it might take a bit longer.
|
||||
|
||||
### With push access
|
||||
|
||||
You can push stuff directly to any branch.
|
||||
But y'know, "with great power comes great responsibility" and so on, be sensible.
|
||||
We most likely will not kick you out if you made a mistake, it happens to the best.
|
||||
But this of course means that the erroneous contributions may be either fixed or undone.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can also proceed as for "without push access" above.
|
||||
In this case it will be assumed that you wish for a review of the changes you want to make.
|
||||
Instead of having someone else merge the pull request when they have approved your changes, you can also merge yourself if you think the given feedback is sufficient.
|
||||
|
||||
### Changelog Trailer
|
||||
|
||||
To keep track of changes that should go into the CHANGELOG, we use a standard [trailer](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-interpret-trailers).
