I for one find it quite worrying that it is entirely possible to list something like 10 or 15 of your employees on a proposal and sidestep the whole meritocracy issue.
Yes, we do not accept a project if we're not prepared to grant commit access to those who have worked on the code. Again, the perception we are on the verge of fostering is that the meritocracy only happens here and for communities (like Wicket) where people have earned their access elsewhere, we are saying that we do not respect that as we will let the mentors by fiat decide who is worthy or not. I don't care much about the sidestepping of meritocracy: the community will not be able to graduate until they are diverse - hence the problem is self-correcting. If they can't gather a diverse collection of people, then no dice. I am concerned that we may permit PPMCs who view it as their right to refuse access to people who have actively contributed in the past and want to continue contributing because they don't like them personally or their employer or feel that they are not leadership material. Those aren't grounds for barring access. -- justin
