Rights and responsibilities vary from role to role, which are defined on the Core Contributor Role Definitions page. Core Contributors may variously help with translations, market the Open edX platform, serve as project managers, write code to advance the Open edX software, and more.

It is not the place to discussion the architecture itself, or to propose architectural changes. That should go in #development:architecture.
