Who this page is for

This guide is for maintainers who want to list issues on Gitpay, guide contributors, and approve work so payments can be released.

Your responsibilities

• Keep issues clear and testable.
• Define acceptance criteria (what “done” means).
• Review Pull Requests and request changes when needed.
• Merge only when the work is ready for production.

How payment is triggered

Gitpay uses the repository workflow as the source of truth. When a task is completed according to your validation process (review + merge/acceptance), the bounty can be released.

Tips for maintainers

• Prefer small, well-scoped tasks.
• Document how to run the project locally.
• Use CI to reduce review load.

Next steps

• Read Getting started
• Review Pull Requests
• Learn the Git Workflow
• Understand How to receive payments
