Hi Folks, We seem to have quite a few projects going around and in the interest of time and the project as a whole, it seems good to have branch committers much like what is there in the Hadoop project. I am proposing an addition to the committer bylaws as follows ( taken from the hadoop project bylaws http://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html ) "Significant, pervasive features are often developed in a speculative branch of the repository. The PMC may grant commit rights on the branch to its consistent contributors, while the initiative is active. Branch committers are responsible for shepherding their feature into an active release and do not cast binding votes or vetoes in the project." Actions: New Branch Committer Description: When a new branch committer is proposed for the project. Approval: Lazy Consensus Binding Votes: Active PMC members Minimum Length: 3 days Mailing List: priv...@hive.apache.org Actions: Removal of Branch Committer Description: When a branch committer is removed from the project. Approval: Consensus Binding Votes: Active PMC members excluding the committer in question if they are PMC members too. Minimum Length: 6 days Mailing List: priv...@hive.apache.org This vote will run for 6 days. PMC members please vote. Thanks Vikram.
