Hi Bonnie, Thanks for ccing me. We didn't have a plan in place yet, but we discussed it this morning and decided that the ha-clusters community will maintain its own list of sponsors for the various cluster areas. We'll monitor request-sponsor and assign sponsors as requests come in. We'll also track cluster-related contributions, but it will be great if you can continue to track them in the main table as well, so that there's a one-stop source for people to examine. We'll add you to the putback notifications as well.
One question: how do we verify that someone has a signed contributor agreement?
