Hello Apache Builds community, Is there a reason that not all committers have immediate right granted to create build jobs on Jenkins?
It would also be nice if things were automated, so when somebody becomes a committer, adding her/him to appropriate project committers user group would be all that needs to be done. Then Jenkins could be configured also to give all rights to jobs matching appropriate name. E.g. grant all rights to "(?i)mahout.*" jobs for all Apache Mahout project committers. Currently process is all manual (as covered on http://wiki.apache.org/general/Jenkins ), and initially committer has very limited access, can just start build jobs, not even view job configuration. Viewing build job output I think is accessible to the public. Kind regards, Stevo Slavic.
