Hi all,

here is my draft for the announcement to committers@

Regards,

------

Dear fellow committers,

the Apache Commons Team is pleased to announce that write access
to the
Apache Commons SVN and git repositories has been granted to all ASF
committers.

Apache Commons is an Apache project focused on all aspects of
reusable Java
components. As such the components maintained by the Apache
Commons project
may be of interest for a variety of other Apache projects.

The Apache Commons community would like to invite you to share
useful code
which may be useful for other projects as well.
Please let us know before you start working on the code, by
writing a short
mail to the dev mailing list [1].

I'd be more careful (better safe than sorry) and add something like:

[...] before committing code, consensus about the modifications
should be
reached on the dev ML.

We are CTR so that is not necessary.  We might just want to refer to
and update [1].

IMHO, it is more efficient to discuss first (with the assumption that
no objection amounts to green light).

The upshot there is that before starting to commit
to a component, it is polite to announce intention to start working
on it and let people know what you have in mind.

In the same vein, it is more polite to ask first whether there is an
objection).
It is also nicer, for all parties, to not have to veto a commit.
