| There has been some discussion on the mailing list of how best to get patches |
| available to users of libraries. This is the understanding I have been using. |
| I posted this and have had no comments on it. |

| Maintainers can have write access to the particular library for which |
| they have responsibility. This includes all the branches and in particular |
| both develop and master. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| It is up to the maintainer to put patches and tests onto develop and |
| see whether there are any remaining problems. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| It is then up to the maintainer to move the patches and tests from develop |
| to master. |

| This does not have to wait for a release of Boost. |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| It can be done any time and at some point master will then become |
| the next release. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| </li> |
| <li class="listitem"> |
| I do not think that develop is moved to master in any other way. It is |
| the maintainer who will know when that is the correct action. |
| </li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <p> |
| If there is more than one maintainer then any of them can do this. Each will |
| be able to see what has happened from the git log. |
