at the regular [coreboot leadership meetings](../community/forums.md)
where a decision is made.
+Core developers are expected to use their privileges for the good of the
+project, which includes any of their own coreboot development but also beyond
+that. They should make sure that [ready changes] don't linger around needlessly
+just because their authors aren't well-connected with core developers but
+submit them if they went through review and generally look reasonable. They're
+also expected to help clean-up breakage as a result of their submissions.
+
+Since the project expects some activity by core developers, long-term absence
+(as in "years") can lead to removal from the group, which can easily be
+reversed after they come back.
Requests for clarification and suggestions for updates to these guidelines
should be sent to the coreboot mailing list at <coreboot@coreboot.org>.
