Openbravo POS

Hello all.
There have not been a lot of posts to this forum.
I find this a little unsettling. I hope and want this to be a vibrant community.

I want to understand how this project is managed?
Who decides what becomes part of the core?
Suppose I've downloaded the source made some changes I think are worthy and want these to be included in the core so I don't have to add these changes each time a new version comes out.
Who decides if the changes I have made are acceptable and should be included in the core source?

Is there some kind of process that people are following that deals with: feature request, feature request acceptance, target release selection for features, testing of changes, checking in the changes, etc.

Is there some documentation that outlines this process? I have seen the partner program video but it focuses on ERP. Is it directly applicable to the POS as well?

I welcome your replies.

Thanks

Todd.
