Hello, Raymond,

My suggestion is to update the TSC Charter. Compared to OpenStack core 
reviewer/contributor maintenance, often feel that OPNFV governance brings lots 
of inconvenience:

For example, if one wants to submit a patch, he/she usually has to be a 
committer in OPNFV before he submit a patch. But in OpenStack, anyone is able 
to submit a patch, and core reviewers will make sure this patch should be 
approved or not. If one is nominated as committer to be a core reviewer, and 
pass the voting, then any other core reviewer can add the new one to core 
reviewer list, but in OPNFV, you have to submit a patch or ask help from 
help-desk.

And another example, I seldom find that there is a stepping down notification 
in OPNFV mail-list from committer(yes, I saw some PTL stepping down 
notification), it seems not the fashion in OPNFV. But in OpenStack, a core 
reviewer is quite important role in code review, if he is not able to do the 
core reviewer responsibility, he will send a notification to the OpenStack 
mail-list.

I really don't know the reason why when we find some committer is inactive in 
the past 6 months, we need the approve from TSC?

Best Regards

Joe,

If there's an inactive committer (for more than 6 months) and the PTL is not 
able to reach that committer for whatever reason, the PTL needs to make a 
request to the TSC to revoke the committer status.  The PTL should not do this 
unilaterally.

Please see the 8th paragraph in the Section 8 of the TSC Charter 
(https://www.opnfv.org/developers/technical-project-governance/tsc-charter)...

Thanks,

Ray

Hello,

In each project's wiki page, we often list committers and contributors, as 
OPNFV's ongoing development, some new committers come, some committers grow 
other interesting and put less focus on the old project.

I have one suggestion for the maintenance on committer list: for those who have 
shifted interest, for example, not shown in the weekly meeting and mail-list 
discussion ( all these could be found in the log) in the past 6 months, but 
they forget to send a stepping down notification in the mail-list, PTL should 
be able to move the committer to the contributor list by default, and update 
the list in the git repository too.

It's not good idea ( not polite too :-) ) to send mail to ask "hey, would you 
continue to contribute in the project, if not, I'll remove you from the 
committer list".
