I don't see this as much of a problem. If somewhat arbitrary labels and powers allow the project to succeed, we should think long and hard before rejecting the idea. It's not like we are going to make anyone who asks a committer, like MediaWiki does. Indeed, we have been super cautious about handing out both commit bits, and labels (e.g. "Major Developer"). One wrinkle is the subsystems: there are some people who only work on certain parts, yet have a commit bit (with the understanding that they won't start editing core or other parts). From an outside perspective however, a "Postgres committer [of certain subsystems]" is a "Postgres committer". One thing I think would help potential and current developers, and act as a further code review and safety valve, is to have a mailing list that actually shows the committed diffs. Links to a webpage showing the diff is just not the same. pgsql-commit-di...@postgresql.org, anyone? - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201204121121 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAk+G8/sACgkQvJuQZxSWSsh7HACgn7Wf/AQyUJwtvxgjYSHSIHkJ hq4AnjMgPlDakupg4mo204+N1p4C0mMZ =z+cR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
