## Plugin Owner Expectations
2431

2532
Plugin ownership is codified by the [CODEOWNERS](https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins/blob/main/.github/CODEOWNERS) file.
2633

2734
Plugin ownership is a responsibility often taken on voluntarily and/or in addition to primary job roles. While there are expectations outlined here, this is **not a support commitment**. Timely responses are appreciated, but replies may not be immediate and will depend on availability.

> [!IMPORTANT]
37+
> It is an explicit expectation that Plugin owners will [version bump](https://backstage.io/docs/getting-started/keeping-backstage-updated#updating-backstage-versions-with-backstage-cli) their plugins on a Monthly basis to keep them in line with Backstage versions. There is automation for [generating the version bump PR](#version-bumping) and the [optional ability to have the version bump PR automatically created](#opt-in-to-automatic-version-bump-prs) for you each month. We expect that this will mean you have roughly an hour or two commitment each month for this task. The Community Plugin Maintainers are happy to help with any issues you have with this process!

Plugin owners are assumed to have full autonomy over reviewing and merging PRs for their workspace. This includes the merging of Version Packages PRs to trigger a new release.
