   - Commit directly.
   - Merge your own PRs. Someone else should have a chance to review and approve the PR merge. If you are a Core Committer, you have a small amount of leeway here for very minor changes.

 * Do

   - Consider backwards compatibility (goes back to "don't break existing playbooks").
   - Write tests. PRs with tests are looked at with more priority than PRs without tests that should have them included. While not all changes require tests, be sure to add them for bug fixes or functionality changes.
   - Discuss with other committers, specially when you are unsure of something.
-  - Document! If your PR is a new feature or a change to behavior, make sure you've updated all associated documentation or have notified the right people to do so. It also helps to add the version of Core against which this documentation is compatible (to avoid confusion with stable versus devel docs, for backwards compatibility, etc.).
