We distinguish 2 levels of contributors:
-the standard contributor can push patch and vote +1/0/-1 on any samplevnf patch
-The commitor can vote -2/-1/0/+1/+2 and merge
-SampleVNF commitors are promoted by the samplevnf contributors.

Gerrit & JIRA

OPNFV uses Gerrit_ for web based code review and repository management for the
Git Version Control System. You can access OPNFV Gerrit from this link.
-Please note that you need to have Linux Foundation ID in order to use OPNFV Gerrit.
+Please note that you need to have Linux Foundation ID in order to use OPNFV

-OPNFV uses JIRA_ for issue management. An important principle of change management
-is to have two-way trace-ability between issue management (i.e. JIRA_) and the code repository (via Gerrit).
-In this way, individual commits can be traced to JIRA issues and we also know which
-commits were used to resolve a JIRA issue.
