Propsals and request for comments for CoreDNS

CoreDNS Request for Comments

The purpose of CoreDNS RFC is to help community involvement in discussions and feedbacks in case of a significant addition or change in CoreDNS and affiliated repos in CoreDNS org.

Who is involved?

Any community member may help by providing feedback on whether the RFC will meet their needs.

An RFC author is one or more community member who writes an RFC and is committed to championing it through the process.

An RFC sponsor is any CoreDNS maintainer who sponsors the RFC and will shepherd it through the RFC review process.

RFC process

1. Recruit a sponsor from CoreDNS maintainers.

   You can open an issue in this repo before creating the pull request for RFC.

2. Submit your RFC as a pull request.

   Name your RFC file using the template YYYYMMDD-descriptive-name.md, where YYYYMMDD is the date of submission, and ‘descriptive-name’ relates to the title of your RFC. For instance, if your RFC is titled “A Special Plugin for CoreDNS”, you might use the filename 20180531-special-plugin.md. If you have images or other auxiliary files, create a directory of the form YYYYMMDD-descriptive-name in which to store those files.

3. Ping related maintainers and encourage community discussions and feedbacks. PR and a request for review. Follow the example of previous mailings, as you can see in this example.

4. The pull request should be kept open for at least two weeks to allow feedback from community. All questions raised by community should be settled, and participating CoreDNS maintainers should reach a consensus before the RFC is merged.

5. A follow up implementation is expected to happen once RFC is merged. Otherwise, the status of the RFC could be changed to Obsolete if not actively worked on.
