Decisions#

  • 2025-12-18: Revise admin qualifications. The admin team and super admin team qualifications have been revised reflect the reality of who we are looking for those roles and their likely qualifications. Admins can be anyone while the super admins must be the trusted members since they will have the privileged access.
  • 2025-11-21: Remove the Security team. There is little regular support from the team currently. The new process will be the admins will be notified of a security advisory and then they can reach out to community members based on the context of the issue.
  • 2025-10-10: Create "super admins" team. Create a "super admins" team for people with elevated permissions across GitHub and PyPI to allow new-to-Django-community people become admins.
  • 2025-10-10: Retire PyPI team in favor of all admins
  • 2025-10-10: 2025 admin team reaffirmations. Admin team reaffirmed status for next year if we increase the size of the team, otherwise people are interested in switching with new people.
  • 2025-10-10: Finalized selection of the new Django Commons logo. PR
  • 2024-11-01: Retain project admins as PyPI Owners. The repository's admins will be retained as PyPI Owners. This provides the project team greater autonomy and allows a repository to be moved out of Django Commons without the admins involvement in extreme cases.
