While this is the first time a proposal was made public, I had to
rant, the toughest email I had to write, but anyway you should ignore
it:
Should we have transparency on committer proposals and votes? It's
because I feel we're not proposing people based on pure merits. For
example, my git rank (git shortlog -sn) and ML participating tells me
the following folks were participating since many months, they have
good commits and their patches only fall behind due to their review
not getting love on time:
21 Sateesh Chodapuneedi
20 Devdeep Singh
16 Sanjay Tripathi
14 James Martin
12 Gavin Lee
While not denying or taking away anything but I'm actually
acknowledging and appreciating the good work Animesh did.
Since I signed the ICLA and think I understand the apache culture [1][2]:
Wearing my daily job hat:
+1 also because follow everyone on this thread brainlessly!
Wearing my opensource hippie aka apache hat:
-1 because I think there are other folks here for months who are not
receiving love. Animesh's work is more like ppmc folks, he could
mature into one later, but what about people who have made good
commits, their contributors should be made easier by providing them
commit access, they are already committed to the community.
Regards.
