Contributing Features

Following is the process for proposing a new Kustomize feature:

1. Check the eschewed feature list to see if the feature has already been proposed
2. File an issue describing the desired feature
   • label it kind/feature
   • the motivation for the feature
   • example of how you would accomplish the motivating task without the feature
   • example of how you would accomplish the motivating task with the feature
3. Email the sig-cli mailing list with the issue
4. Present the issue at sig-cli bi-weekly meeting on Zoom
   • add it to the meeting agenda doc
   • be present to discuss the feature
   • response may be – move forward with a PoC, not to move forward, defer and come back later, or more information is needed.
5. Address the feedback on the issue
   • Possibly write a KEP for tracking the feature
6. Implement the feature and send a PR
   • Add table-driven tests
   • Expect comments on the PR within 2 weeks
