To me, it didn't seem right that if you had proven you could contribute good code before the code was moved to Apache but weren't on the initial list that you had to go through the "series of pull requests" gauntlet and then a 72 hour vote in order to get your commit bit. I think that's why we grind so much on the initial list: if you are not on it, lots of folks want you to "re-earn" your merit inside the ASF. The quick-add path might still take 72 hours for a vote, but at least you don't need to wait for a series of pull requests to be accepted, while some other person who did make the list can just start committing. Since there can be a culling of the list at graduation time, there is little risk to streamlining the commit bit for folks the community already knows from before. All that person has to is actually show up with something to commit and an ICLA, then there should be a vote where folks say "oh yeah, that person has been a productive contributor" and then that person gets an account and can commit their change. -Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
