Pull request protocols

This document lays out the COVID Forecast Hub protocol for accepting new data. Anyone with write access to the repository can add new raw data or other code as needed. However, for accepting new forecast data we have the following protocols in place.

The following individuals will monitor and merge PRs with new forecast data:

• Jarad Niemi
• Johannes Bracher
• Katie House
• Khoa Le
• Nicholas Reich
• Nutcha Wattanachit

Any PR that passes the current checks may be merged, with the additional manual check that the forecast_date is either the date the PR was submitted or the previous date. Any exceptions to this rule should be justified and documented with a comment on the PR.
