### How to Get PRs Merged
-A PR is considered to be **ready to merge** when:
-
-* It has received two approvals from Collaborators/Maintainers (at
- different companies). This is not enforced through technical means
- and a PR may be **ready to merge** with a single approval if the change
- and its approach have been discussed and consensus reached.
-* Feedback has been addressed.
-* Any substantive changes to your PR will require that you clear any prior
- Approval reviews, this includes changes resulting from other feedback. Unless
- the approver explicitly stated that their approval will persist across
- changes it should be assumed that the PR needs their review again. Other
- project members (e.g. approvers, maintainers) can help with this if there are
- any questions or if you forget to clear reviews.
-* It has been open for review for at least one working day. This gives
- people reasonable time to review.
-* Trivial changes (typo, cosmetic, doc, etc.) do not have to wait for
- one day and may be merged with a single Maintainer's approval.
-* `CHANGELOG.md` has been updated to reflect what has been
- added, changed, removed, or fixed.
-* `README.md` has been updated if necessary.
-* Urgent fix can take exception as long as it has been actively
- communicated.
-
-Any Maintainer can merge the PR once it is **ready to merge**.
+A PR is considered **ready to merge** when:
+
+* It has received two qualified approvals[^1].
+
+ This is not enforced through automation, but needs to be validated by the
+ maintainer merging.
+ * The qualified approvals need to be from [Approver]s/[Maintainer]s
+ affiliated with different companies. Two qualified approvals from
+ [Approver]s or [Maintainer]s affiliated with the same company counts as a
+ single qualified approval.
+ * PRs introducing changes that have already been discussed and consensus
+ reached only need one qualified approval. The discussion and resolution
+ needs to be linked to the PR.
+ * Trivial changes[^2] only need one qualified approval.
+
+* All feedback has been addressed.
+ * All PR comments and suggestions are resolved.
+ * All GitHub Pull Request reviews with a status of "Request changes" have
+ been addressed. Another review by the objecting reviewer with a different
+ status can be submitted to clear the original review, or the review can be
+ dismissed by a [Maintainer] when the issues from the original review have
+ been addressed.
+ * Any comments or reviews that cannot be resolved between the PR author and
+ reviewers can be submitted to the community [Approver]s and [Maintainer]s
+ during the weekly SIG meeting. If consensus is reached among the
+ [Approver]s and [Maintainer]s during the SIG meeting the objections to the
+ PR may be dismissed or resolved or the PR closed by a [Maintainer].
+ * Any substantive changes to the PR require existing Approval reviews be
+ cleared unless the approver explicitly states that their approval persists
+ across changes. This includes changes resulting from other feedback.
+ [Approver]s and [Maintainer]s can help in clearing reviews and they should
+ be consulted if there are any questions.
+
+* The PR branch is up to date with the base branch it is merging into.
+ * To ensure this does not block the PR, it should be configured to allow
+ maintainers to update it.
+
+* It has been open for review for at least one working day. This gives people
+ reasonable time to review.
+ * Trivial changes[^2] do not have to wait for one day and may be merged with
+ a single [Maintainer]'s approval.
+
+* All required GitHub workflows have succeeded.
+* Urgent fix can take exception as long as it has been actively communicated
+ among [Maintainer]s.
+
+Any [Maintainer] can merge the PR once the above criteria have been met.
+
+[^1]: A qualified approval is a GitHub Pull Request review with "Approve"
