Contributor Groups
Members who have special responsibilities are organized into the following groups.
Core Contributors
The Core Contributors are the most involved with the project. They set the overall project direction, manage finances, design and maintain the infrastructure, make releases, and everything else.
Trusted Contributors
Trusted Contributors work on day-to-day things across the project including code reviews, merging changes, and issue triage.
Active Contributors
Active Contributors can't merge changes themselves, but otherwise do much of what Trusted Contributors do. They usually focus on the specific devices they're interested in.
- Who are the Active Contributors? — Look for "Direct member" in the source column, for technical reasons this gitlab group contains Core Contributors and Trusted Contributors too.

Teams
postmarketOS is also organized into Teams, which are built around a singular topic or purpose. Anyone in the community can join a team, they're not limited to any specific contributors. Right now we have only one, the Testing Team:
Testing Team
Given the breadth of hardware postmarketOS supports, extensive testing is important to prevent regressions: the Testing Team tests changes before they're released ensuring they're as reliable as possible.
