A BranchManager is a person identified as being responsible for the health of a branch. A BranchManager has the power to:
  1. set the rules for checking in to the branch (who can and who can't etc),
  2. dictate standards for quality and documentation,
  3. dictate the labelling policy,
  4. shape the development of the code by choosing what is incorporated from offered merges and patches,
  5. set the release policy.
A BranchManager can be expected to:
  1. communicate expectations to contributors,
  2. consider, and accept or reject merges or patches, based on appropriateness of functionality and quality,
  3. perform their responsibilities in a timely fashion,
  4. provide decision-making on matters of branch policy,
  5. ensure the branch always compiles and runs.
