Release Manager

Duties: Establishes expected timeline and milestones for the release. Reviews pull requests over a release cycle - flagging items that may constitute architectural changes to the code base, or which may require more substantial code review. The Release Manager will also chair every other Committers Call and participate actively in the management of JIRA tickets, and will attend Coordinating Committee meetings over a release cycle to guide the release schedule. The Release Manager also packages code to be released.

Component Manager

Duties: Component Managers take responsibility for a single module or collection of modules, reviewing open pull requests and referring the results to the Release Manager.
