+Overview of the code review process
+-----------------------------------
+
+All contributions to Trusted Firmware-A project are reviewed by the community to
+ensure they meet the project's expectations before they get merged, according to
+the `Project Maintenance Process`_ defined for all `Trusted Firmware` projects.
+
+Technical ownership of most parts of the codebase falls on the :ref:`code
+owners`. All patches are ultimately merged by the :ref:`maintainers`.
+
+Approval of a patch is tracked using Gerrit `labels`. For a patch to be merged,
+it must get all of the following votes:
+
+- At least one ``Code-Owner-Review+1`` up-vote, and no ``Code-Owner-Review-1``
+  down-vote.
+
+- At least one ``Maintainer-Review+1`` up-vote, and no ``Maintainer-Review-1``
+  down-vote.
+
+- ``Verified+1`` vote applied by the automated Continuous Integration (CI)
+  system.
+
+Note that, in some instances, the maintainers might give a waiver for some of
+the CI failures and manually override the ``Verified+1`` score.
