I don't see anything in the wiki, but I'd be happy to write that up. > Or you are talking about "approvers" Ah, yea I was thinking of "Approvers: " (which is a future discussion). Although, I suppose the same technique could be applied to any contributor (committer or not) as a way to designate their preferred name + email in the commit message. --- Divij, doh! Thanks. I was looking in the old "phonebook" application and not Whismy. Since the API requires authentication, it might be difficult to integrate into our automations. Maybe we could use the API to extract the necessary data for the "committers" file. It also looks like the "githubUsername" is sparsely populated, so maybe some manual labor is involved regardless. -David A On Tue, Dec 3, 2024 at 4:36 PM Divij Vaidya <divijvaidy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey David > > You can find the authoritative list of committers and PMC members here - > https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committee/kafka > If you click on usernames here, you can find the corresponding GitHub ID as > well. > > Whimsy has its API documented at https://whimsy.apache.org/docs/api/ , > hence, it may be possible to query the API and get the information directly > from the source of truth.
