+We generally follow a
[CTR](https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#CommitThenReview) policy.
+However it is up to each individual committer to pro-actively ask for a review
of a patch on
+oak-dev@ or to even call for a
[RTC](https://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html#ReviewThenCommit).
+Special care should be taken with backports to maintenance branches. Back
ports bear a certain risk
+of introducing regressions to otherwise stable branches. Each back ported
change should be carefully
+evaluated for its potential impact, risk and possible mitigation. It is the
responsibility of each
+committer to asses these and ask for advise or reviewing on oak-dev@ if
uncertain. Whether using
+RTC or CTR is up to the committer.
