Chris Lambertus commented on WHIMSY-113: ---------------------------------------- It looks like generate-dotqmail-availid.py only takes a few seconds to run, so we could easily run this every minute or two. I don't see any obvious locking in the script, so it would be best to avoid situations where it could be run simultaneously. I don't know of any situations where it would take considerably longer to run unless all 7k+ committers changed their forwarding addresses at the same time. > 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)
