+Committer management
+####################
+
+This is the documentation for Self-serve committer managament via your
+repositories INFO.yaml file. The purpose of the INFO file is two fold, the
+project committers can use it to act as administrators of their project, and it
+provides a clear record of who the committers and project lead are, and who
+autorized their committer permissions.
+
+Quick Start
+===========
+
+Adding someone as a committer requires a change-set against your projects
+INFO.yaml The change should add the needed information, including an approval
+link if your project requires it. Upon a successful merge automation will
+process the change and update permissions as needed.
+
+.. note::
+
+    some projects TCS's require approval to add committers.
+    If this is the case, append a link to the meeting minutes
+    in the tsc: changes: section
+
+Filling out the INFO file
