Committers have direct read-write access to the Git repository, enabling them to commit changes by themselves or others once reviewed. Reviewers are permitted to review patches and may grant or deny approval for committing. SproutCore Core Team members set the overall direction of the project and manage long term plans. Details of the review and commit process are available on the contribution page.
