+Project Maintenance Processes
+=============================
+
+Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) project follows the generic `trustedfirmware.org
+Project Maintenance Process`_. The present document complements it by defining
+TF-A project-specific decisions.
+
+How to become a maintainer?
+---------------------------
+
+Qualifying Criteria
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To be elligible to become a maintainer for TF-A project, all criteria outlined
+`here`_ must be fullfilled. These are:
+
+- Being an active member of the project for at least a couple of years.
+
+- Having contributed a substantial number of non-trivial and high-quality
+  patches.
+
+- Having reviewed a substantial number of non-trivial patches, preferably in the
+  generic layer, with high-quality constructive feedback.
+
+- Behaving in a professional and polite way, with the best interests of the
+  project at heart.
+
+- Showing a strong will to improve the project and to do the right thing, rather
+  than going for the quick and easy path.
+
+- Participating in design discussions on the development mailing list and during
+  TF-A tech forums calls.
+
+- Having appropriate bandwidth (minimum 2 hours per week) to deal with the workload.
+
+Election Process
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To put an individual's name up for election,
+
+#. Send an email to all existing TF-A maintainers, asking whether they have any
+   objections to this individual becoming a TF-A maintainer.
+
+#. Give existing maintainers one calendar week to participate in the discussion.
+
+#. If there are objections, the existing maintainers should try to resolve them
+   amongst themselves. If they cannot, this should be escalated to the
+   trustedfirmware.org Technical Steering Commitee (TSC).
+
+#. If there are no (more) objections, announce the news on the TF-A mailing list
+   and update the list of maintainers on the :ref:`Project
+   Maintenance<maintainers>` page.
