This file contains a list of people who are responsible for certain parts of

the HAProxy project and who have authority on them. This means that these

people have to be consulted before doing any change in the parts they maintain,

including when fixing bugs. These persons are allowed to reject any change on

the parts they maintain, and in parallel they try their best to ensure these

parts work well. Similarly, any change to these parts not being validated by

them will be rejected.

The best way to deal with such subsystems when sending patches is to send the

patches to the mailing list and to CC these people. When no maintainer is

listed for a subsystem, you can simply send your changes the usual way, and it

is also a sign that if you want to strengthen your skills on certain parts you

can become yourself a maintainer of the parts you care a lot about.

Please do not ask them to troubleshoot your bugs, it's not their job eventhough

they may occasionally help as time permits.
