RE: [aspectj-dev] Call for Vote: Commit rights for Andy Clement on AspectJ project?

+1

 

Even before he began contributing patches Andy provided very valuable work tracking down and isolating bugs to the point where the actual bug fix was trivial.  His actual patches have always been of high quality.  I’ve spent enough time virtually (and physically) looking over his shoulder by examining his patches and I’m thrilled to have Andy become an official committer on the project so he can commit his work directly to the tree.

Subject: [aspectj-dev] Call for Vote: Commit rights for Andy Clement on AspectJ project?

 


In accordance with our Eclipse project charter (http://www.eclipse.org/technology/technology-charter.html), I propose that Andy Clement be granted commit rights on the AspectJ project, and call for a vote from the existing committers on this matter.The case for granting Andy Clement commit rights on the AspectJ project is set out below.

If you are in favour please respond by voting '+1'
If you are in opposition, please respond by voting '-1'
You may abstain by voting '0'.

This vote is for existing committers on the AspectJ project only.

Andy Clement has been affiliated with the AspectJ project for nearly two years now. His involvement started as a user, and quickly progressed to contributing to the development of the AJDT tools in Eclipse (Andy is an existing committer on the AJDT project). Work on AJDT has given Andy a good understanding of the ajde module in the AspectJ project. Over the last few months, Andy has been increasingly involved in the development and maintenance of the AspectJ project itself, broadening his knowledge to cover much more of the system. The evidence for Andy's contributions can be found in the bugzilla database.

I would like to draw your attention to the following bug records which Andy has helped to resolve through his contributions in the last few months:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39479.  A critical P2 bug: NPE in bcel.LazyMethodGen when delegating from one ctor t...
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41536.  A P2 bug: Debug information getting lost in weaver ?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46750.  A P2 bug: "declare soft" inside nested aspect does not work
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=48522.  A P2 bug: Declare soft softening other exception types
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39470.  A P2 bug: Repeating a compilation multiple times produces class files that vary in size
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=43033.  A P3 bug: Compiler crash in ajc head (post 1.1.1 rc1) on erroneous ...
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45663. A P3 bug: RecoveredMethod.java:391
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=47754. A P3 bug: illegal method modifier
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46671 A P3 bug: ajc throws NullPointerException when parsing pointcut specification.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49814. A P4 bug: ConfigParser.java:132

I believe Andy's long standing involvement with the project and the evidence of good quality contributions to the source code warrant the granting of commit rights. If these rights are granted, Andy will continue to perform analysis of bug and enhancement requests for AspectJ, and contribute fixes to the ajde, ajdt.core and weaver modules (and potentially others as the occasion demands). We place in Andy the trust to make these enhancements via a patch sent to the module owner rather than a direct commit in his own right on any occasion where he is not certain of the correctness of a proposed change.

Regards, Adrian.
