+==================================
+Organization of the Sphinx project
+==================================
+
+The guide explains how the Sphinx project is organized.
+
+Core developers
+---------------
+
+The core developers of Sphinx have write access to the main repository.  They
+can commit changes, accept/reject pull requests, and manage items on the issue
+tracker.
+
+Guidelines
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following are some general guidelines for core developers:
+
+* Questionable or extensive changes should be submitted as a pull request
+  instead of being committed directly to the main repository.  The pull
+  request should be reviewed by another core developer before it is merged.
+
+* Trivial changes can be committed directly but be sure to keep the repository
+  in a good working state and that all tests pass before pushing your changes.
+
+* When committing code written by someone else, please attribute the original
+  author in the commit message and any relevant :file:`CHANGES` entry.
+
+Membership
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Core membership is predicated on continued active contribution to the project.
+In general, prospective cores should demonstrate:
+
+- a good understanding of one of more components of Sphinx
+
+- a history of helpful, constructive contributions
+
+- a willingness to invest time improving Sphinx
+
+Refer to :doc:`contributing` for more information on how you can get started.
+
+Other contributors
+------------------
+
+You do not need to be a core developer or have write access to be involved in
+the development of Sphinx.  You can submit patches or create pull requests
+from forked repositories and have a core developer add the changes for you.
+
+Similarly, contributions are not limited to code patches. We also welcome help
+triaging bugs, input on design decisions, reviews of existing patches and
+documentation improvements. More information can be found in
+:doc:`contributing`.
+
+A list of people that have contributed to Sphinx can be found in
+:doc:`authors`.
