> I cannot find a publicly available checklist how releases are made, no QA policy, no policy how PRs are reviewed.

To bring this a little back on topic, here are some relevant links:

- [Julia’s Release Process](https://julialang.org/blog/2019/08/release-process/)
- [Making a Julia Release, JuliaCon 2023](https://youtu.be/yVCV295Q2Bg)
- [Julia CI (that’s the “QA”)](https://buildkite.com/julialang/julia-master)
- [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

The policies for reviewing PRs are just the normal workflows for GitHub-based development. I suppose those are more or less implicit. And yes, it is assumed that people contributing to Julia or the documentation of any package are familiar with GitHub. Maybe that’s a bit of a barrier, but I’m not really sure how I would improve on that.

Actual core contributors can probably give you more details about the development/release/QA process. Your desire to see these things explained is absolutely not unreasonable. But I would assure you that Julia has quite strenuous QA, even if not everything might be written down or might be immediately obvious to a newcomer.
