Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-113: --------------------------------- > ssh whimsy apmail karma I've tried to avoid that, for firewall reasons. If the whimsy server ever got compromised, that would be bad. If hermes got compromised, that would be worse. > Have Secretary create new accounts directly > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: WHIMSY-113 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-113 > Project: Whimsy > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SecMail > Reporter: Sam Ruby > Assignee: Sam Ruby > Priority: Major > > See also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-14456 > Currently most new account requests are made by the secretary, with the > remainder by PMC chairs and ASF members. These requests are made by whimsy > forms and result in a file created in svn that is processed, generally daily, > by infrastructure staff. > The new process envisioned is that the secretary will create new accounts > directly; and that new account requests will be sent via email to secretary@ > and processed by the secretary workbench. Generally, processing of such > requests should be at most a few mouse clicks, though an opportunity will be > provided to tweak such things a public names and to verify that a proper vote > link was provided. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
