I think its unnecessary. If you want to find out who did something, use svn. If a user needs to get a responsible person - we all are somehow. The right person will come out from the mailinglist.
Adding yourself is ok if you have done some portions, feel well with the code and responsible for the releases. It's up to the committer. It doesn't make sense if somebody commits for example code formatting my 2 cents Cheers On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 6:36 AM, Henri Yandell <flame...@gmail.com> wrote: > 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*.
