Craig L Russell commented on WHIMSY-358:
----------------------------------------
[~wave] I was not trying to imply that a contributor had to be invited by a PMC
to file an ICLA. Anyone can file an ICLA at any time. And I agree with you that
it makes is a lot easier to invite a committer if they have already filed an
ICLA (and if the PMC knows about it).
I was trying to say that if a contributor perhaps does not realize that an ICLA
can be filed at any time, the PMC could encourage the contributor to file an
ICLA once the PMC notices that they have done more than trivial contributions.
In fact, we could encourage PMCs to take a good look at all contributors (IIUC,
GitHub makes this straightforward) and make note of everyone who has a
sustained non-trivial history of contributing.
> Provide easy way to vote new PMC members and committers

> Key: WHIMSY-358
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-358
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Roster
> Reporter: Craig L Russell
> Priority: Major
>
> It should be easy for PMC members to elect new committers and PMC members.
> The roster tool already provides for making changes to the PMC roster via
> simple push-button. But there is no provision for electing new PMC members or
> committers.
> The roster for a PMC should provide new buttons to initiate votes, vote, and
> close votes. The buttons should only be available to existing PMC members.
> To initiate a vote, a new screen allows the nominator to enter the full name,
> optional github id, optional apache id, and a paragraph of why this nominee
> should become a PMC member or committer. Email is sent to the private list
> with a link to the PMC roster so PMC members can vote. All current votes are
> listed when PMC members visit the roster page.
> To vote, a new screen allows any PMC member to view all comments and to vote.
> The vote is recorded in a file keyed on the PMC name and the full name of the
> nominee.
> To close a vote for a PMC member, a new screen allows the nominator to record
> success or failure of the vote. Success for a vote sends email to the board,
> cc the PMC list, and starts the 72 hour timer. Expiration of the timer
> enables a new button to send email to the nominee with an invitation and a
> link to click to finalize the process. When the nominee accepts, a new button
> appears which allows any PMC member to finalize the process, update LDAP and
> committee-info.txt, and send email to the PMC list.
> To close a vote for a new committer, a new screen allows the nominator to
> record success or failure of the vote. Success for a vote sends email to the
> nominee, cc the PMC list, and invites them to choose an id and submit an
> ICLA. The id, email address, project, and full name are already filled in the
> ICLA via this process. When the ICLA is received, the normal request for
> infra to create an account is processed.
