The following rule seems unnecessary to me: http://wiki.apache.org/commons/CommonsEtiquette#Commons_Etiquette
"each committer who commits to a component must add their name to the STATUS file" (or pom.xml) I've never done this, have touched every component (give or take a component or two) and have never had negative feedback*. Either everyone's being very polite or it's not actually a necessary piece of etiquette :) Hen [A slight lie; I once committed a doap file to Tapestry and got yelled at, but that wasn't Commons] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
