That is why I'm so uncomfortable... Sorry, I don't know them, and if you ask
me "would you give him commit access" (as you do with a vote), I can just
reply "well, who are they?"
This happened several times for the people down at Sun last year, and had no
problem with that, I mean, I had to see Patrick, Amy, Remy and all the
others ugly faces every day (or better, when I was awake enough to drag my
bum in the office, maybe twice a week...)

Well, that's one thing I didn't know...

Agreed wholeheartedly. From what I can see (for example) Dan has submitted
one patch, and all BillB said was "I'd like to propose Dan Sandberg (x at
cs.stanford.edu) as a new Tomcat committer. He has already put in a great
deal of work in re-factoring the SSIServlet in Tomcat 4.x, and seems to be
willing to further contribute to working on this."
That's all I know... Someone throw me a bone down here...

It's not a "requirement" for me, but surely it would ease up things when
coming up and deciding whether to give someone committer access... At least
I would know who I'm talking about.
That's also why I keep pushing everyone (Remy and JF were slapped a couple
of times), not to send me mail privately about Tomcat, but always to the
list, it raises awareness, everyone will know where everyone stands...

At least for once :)

Absolutely, far from me to do that.
