+# SGLang Code Maintenance Model
+This document describes the code maintenance model for the SGLang project.
+Since SGLang is a large project involving multiple organizations and hardware platforms, we designed this model with the following goals:
+- Ensure a responsive and smooth review process.
+- Allow for fast iteration, so maintainers can sometimes bypass flaky CI tests for important PRs.
+
+## Role Descriptions
+There are four roles in this maintenance model. Some are custom roles, while others are predefined by GitHub.
+
+- **Merge Oncall**: The person who drives the PR merge process. They have strong area-specific expertise and uphold a high bar for code quality.
+  - Permission: Merge PRs. Bypass branch protection rules if needed.
+  - Responsibility: Shepherd the merge of PRs assigned to their area. Revert or hotfix any issues related to their merge (especially if they bypass).
+- **Codeowner**: The person who protects critical code. Without a bypass, each PR needs at least one Codeowner approval for each modified file protected by [CODEOWNERS](./CODEOWNERS). Please note that this role is not an honor but a significant responsibility because PRs cannot be merged without your approval (except when bypassed by a Merge Oncall).
+  - Permission: Approve PRs, allowing them to be merged without a bypass.
+  - Responsibility: Review PRs in a timely manner.
+- **Write**: A person with write permission to the SGLang repo.
+  - Permission: Merge PRs if they have passed required tests and been approved by Codeowners. This role cannot bypass branch protection rules.
+  - Responsibility: Review and merge PRs in a timely manner.
+- **CI Oncall**: A person who manages CI runners for specific hardware platforms.
+  - Permission: Add CI runners.
+  - Responsibility: Keep the CI runners up and running.
+
+__Note__: Difference between Merge Oncall and Codeowner
+- The Merge Oncall is an active role held by someone who actively tries to help merge PRs and can bypass CI if needed.
+- The Codeowner is a passive protection role provided by GitHub; it prevents accidental changes to critical code.
+- The list of Merge Oncalls is attached below. The list of Codeowners is in the [CODEOWNERS](./CODEOWNERS) file.
+
+__Note__: The permissions to trigger CI tests are defined separately according to these [rules](https://docs.sglang.ai/developer_guide/contribution_guide.html#how-to-trigger-ci-tests).
+
+
+## Pull Request Merge Process
+1. The author submits a pull request (PR) and fills out the PR checklist.
+2. A bot assigns this PR to a Merge Oncall and @-mentions them. At the same time, GitHub will automatically request reviews from Codeowners.
+3. Someone tags the PR with a `run-ci` label ([help](https://docs.sglang.ai/developer_guide/contribution_guide.html#how-to-trigger-ci-tests)). Then the author can trigger CI by pushing new commits.
+4. The Merge Oncall coordinates the review (e.g., asking people to review) and approves the PR; the Codeowners also approve the PR. If the assigned Merge Oncall is not responsive, the author can ping other related Merge Oncalls and Reviewers in the list below.
+5. The code can now be merged:
+   - **Ideal case:** For each modified file, one Codeowner has approved the PR. The PR has also passed the required CI tests. Then, anyone with write permission can merge the PR.
+   - **Exception:** In cases where it is difficult to meet all requirements (due to flaky CI or slow responses), a Merge Oncall can bypass branch protection to merge the PR.
+
+If you meet any issues during the merge, you can discuss in [slack channels](https://slack.sglang.ai/): #dev, #pull-request, and #ci-cd-build-release.
+
+## The List of Merge Oncalls and Reviewers
+The format is @github-username (Slack username).
+
+TODO: fill in the list.
+
+Now we have many Merge Oncalls mainly because the CI is flaky and the CODEOWNERS is too coarse-grained.
+In the future, we hope the CI can be improved and we only need bypass rarely. After that, most Merge Oncalls can be converted back to Write and CODEOWNERS.
+
+This list is based on the current situation. If you or someone you know would like to take on more responsibility and are qualified, please ping @Lianmin Zheng and @Ying Sheng in the Slack channel. They will start a nomination and internal review process.
