Code review procedures are not dictated by a central, global policy. Instead, the process is defined by each code owner.</font><p><br><font face="Arial">Any community member that is active and shows themselves to be valuable can offer to become a code owner via public email to the mailing list, or be nominated by another member. If fellow contributors agree, the project lead will make the appointment and add the new owner’s name to the code owners file. The position is completely voluntary, and can be resigned at any time.</font><p><br><br><br><font face="Arial">## Code Repositories</font><p><br><font face="Arial">- Main repo: </font><a href="https://github.com/swift-server/security"><u><font color="#1155CC" face="Arial">https://github.com/swift-server/security</font></u></a><br><font face="Arial">- SSL library: </font><a href="https://github.com/swift-server/security"><u><font color="#1155CC" face="Arial">https://github.com/swift-server/security</font></u></a><font face="Arial">/tls </font><br><font face="Arial">- Crypto library: </font><a href="https://github.com/swift-server/security"><u><font color="#1155CC" face="Arial">https://github.com/swift-server/security</font></u></a><font face="Arial">/crypto </font><br><br><br><BR>
