+ ### Reviewing Pull Requests 
+<!--- TODO: Make a brief statement about how pull-requests are reviewed, and who is doing the reviewing. Linking to MAINTAINERS.md can help.
+ Code Review Example
+ The repository on GitHub is kept in sync with an internal repository at github.cms.gov. For the most part this process should be transparent to the project users, but it does have some implications for how pull requests are merged into the codebase.
+ When you submit a pull request on GitHub, it will be reviewed by the project community (both inside and outside of github.cms.gov), and once the changes are approved, your commits will be brought into github.cms.gov's internal system for additional testing. Once the changes are merged internally, they will be pushed back to GitHub with the next sync.
+ This process means that the pull request will not be merged in the usual way. Instead a member of the project team will post a message in the pull request thread when your changes have made their way back to GitHub, and the pull request will be closed.
+ The changes in the pull request will be collapsed into a single commit, but the authorship metadata will be preserved.
