TM/Code Ownership

What do we want to achieve by explicit code ownership?

• Integrity of the Design: The owner is responsible for a solid extensible design.
  • People other than the owner can make bug fixes, but please let the owner know
  • Dont make design-breaking changes without letting the owner know
  • Typically there is a single owner for each functionality. Multiple "two-in-a-box" owners are only possible if they work very closely together
  • There may be a backup person for an owner, in case the owner is out-of-office.
• Timely Bug Triage: The owner is responsible for reviewing (and probably reassigning) bugs of his area in a timely fashion
  • Helps dispatching new bugs to component owners first
  • Ownership can be for functionality that spans multiple packages (If functionality is seen by user as a single entity)
• Credit for Quality through Visibility
  • Owners of a component should be publicly visible, so they can get the credit for good work
• Ownership of Copyright and IP issues
  • Component owners are responsible for keeping the IP of their component clean.
