Contributor Ladder

Tetragon is a sub-project of the Cilium project and follows the same governance model, community processes, and contributor growth paths as Cilium. To support contributors in gaining both privileges and responsibilities, we adopt the shared Contributor Ladder. This contributor ladder defines how contributors can grow from community participants to project maintainers, along with the expectations at each level.

Community members generally start at the first levels of the ladder and advance as their involvement deepens. Becoming a Cilium organization member grants additional privileges across the project ecosystem, such as the ability to review pull requests or trigger CI runs. If you are contributing regularly to Tetragon, we encourage you to join the Tetragon team to help review code and accelerate development.

Your contributions play a vital role in improving the project, and the community is here to support you every step of the way.
