+Contributors roles
+==================
+
+Contributors are welcome and are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and we give credit to them.
+
+This document aims to explain the current roles in the Astronomer Cosmos project.
+For more information, check :ref:`contributing` and :ref:`contributors`.
+
+
+Contributors
+------------
+
+A contributor is anyone who wants to contribute code, documentation, tests, ideas, or anything to the Astronomer Cosmos project.
+
+Cosmos contributors can be found in the Astronomer Cosmos Github `insights page <https://github.com/astronomer/astronomer-cosmos/graphs/contributors>`_ and in the `#airflow-dbt <https://join.slack.com/t/apache-airflow/shared_invite/zt-1zy8e8h85-es~fn19iMzUmkhPwnyRT6Q>`_ Slack channel.
+
+Contributors are responsible for:
+
+* Fixing bugs
+* Refactoring code
+* Improving processes and tooling
+* Adding features
+* Improving the documentation
+* Making/answering questions in the #airflow-dbt Slack channel
+
+
+Committers/Maintainers
+----------------------
+
+Committers are community members with write access to the `Astronomer Cosmos Github repository <https://github.com/astronomer/astronomer-cosmos>`_.
+They can modify the code and the documentation and accept others' contributions to the repo.
+
+Check :ref:`contributors` for the official list of Astronomer Cosmos committers.
+
+Committers have the same responsibilities as standard contributors and also perform the following actions:
+
+* Reviewing & merging pull-requests
+* Scanning and responding to GitHub issues, helping triaging them
+
+If you know you are not going to be able to contribute for a long time (for instance, due to a change of job or circumstances), you should inform other maintainers, and we will mark you as "emeritus".
+Emeritus committers will no longer have write access to the repo.
+As merit earned never expires, once an emeritus committer becomes active again, they can simply email another maintainer from Astronomer and ask to be reinstated.
+
+Pre-requisites to becoming a committer
+.......................................
+
+General prerequisites that we look for in all candidates:
+
+1. Consistent contribution over last few months
+2. Visibility on discussions on the Slack channel or GitHub issues/discussions
+3. Contributions to community health and project's sustainability for the long-term
+4. Understands the project's contributors guidelines :ref:`contributing`.
+Astronomer is responsible and accountable for releasing new versions of Cosmos in PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/astronomer-cosmos/>, following the milestones <https://github.com/astronomer/astronomer-cosmos/milestones>.
+Astronomer has the right to grant and revoke write access permissions to the project's official repository for any reason it sees fit.
