So we just hand out commit access and hope (or try to make them) behave? Isn't that a bit unfair to those that contributed over months until they got voted in as committers? They had to show beforehand they understand how things work. cheers -- Torsten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
