Sebb reopened WHIMSY-228:
-------------------------
The feature is currently supported by means of a separate roster page [1] which
only gives access to the notinavail ICLAs. This is not particularly convenient
when requesting updates to PMC rosters.
It might be better to enhance the existing committer search page to optionally
include notinavail entries if the user has the appropriate karma (member or
pmc-chair).

> ICLA lookup for notinavail

> Key: WHIMSY-228
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-228
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> From the mailing list [1]:
> "I'd like to propose a new whimsy feature: ICLA lookup for notinavail
> This would allow authorized users (those with read access to
> foundation/officers/iclas.txt) to search iclas.txt for specific names, even
> for notinavail (those found in unlisted-iclas).
> This would be an extension of the current committers search
> https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/ allowing to search iclas.txt for
> notinavail members if the name was not found elsewhere.
> This tool would be used by PMC members when inviting new committers. The PMC
> would look at roster/committer to see if the proposed committer was already a
> committer. If not, and the notinavail entry was found, the PMC could use the
> email address in iclas.txt to invite the new committer to provide an apache
> id and verify the email address.
> I'm working on an update for
> http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html#new-committer-process that will
> spell out how PMCs are supposed to deal with proposed committers that already
> are committers or already have an ICLA on file. This feature would be easier
> to use than asking the PMC member to access and search iclas.txt manually.
