In addition I would like to add the process used for OpenEJB as the gold standard for creating this initial list: --- As far as how we came up with the commit list, it's actually pretty neat. For the proposal, I added everyone who had commit. For the actual giving commit, I was much more cautious. I created a status file and gave people basically two months to add their name. I did this for two reasons 1. filters the completely inactive and proves at least some level of activity (you have to at least read the list and update svn) 2. a formal acknowledgment that you understand and agree with our moving to apache and want to participate We ended up with a smaller list of committers, but actually got some old committers active again, so that was a big plus. ---
The concern I have with this procedure is that we'd drop folks after the proposal is voted on and approved. If this procedure were done before approval to create the initial list, that's okay with me. My concern is that if someone is on the initial list, that they have the right to commit/PPMC status if they ask for it. -- justin
