Hi PMC,

You probably saw this email a while back.  

Mark & Mika - Please take a look at instructions below.  Check your
committer list and group memberships as soon as possible.

Thanks, 

Doug

records

Project Leads -- This is a one-time request from someone who does not  
normally read this list. If you have questions about the how or why  
of this request you are welcome to communicate directly with me or  
correspond via the bug listed below. Thanks and best regards. -- Ward


The Foundation keeps committer and project records in a database that  
has drifted out of sync with the login and group permissions we all  
use on unix. We are reconciling these differences using scripts Karl  
Matthias wrote for the purpose. We will follow these up with improved  
internal procedures and new committer tools once everything is in  
order. (See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153763  
about this.)

You can help us jump start this process by checking your project's  
information and sending us updates to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx. Here is  
what to do:

1. Check project and group names.

http://dash2.eclipse.org/~kmatthias/audit/php/audit_projects.php

The second table on this page lists unix groups per project id. Check  
this to make sure we have paired these up correctly.

http://dash2.eclipse.org/~kmatthias/audit/php/audit_groups.php

This page lists results for various cross checks we are doing. If you  
recognize anything of yours please tell us what it is and where it  
should be. You can safely ignore inactive and archived material  
unless that isn't the desired state.

2. Check group membership

http://dash2.eclipse.org/~kmatthias/audit/php/audit_projects.php  
(same as above)

Click on a link on this page to see details for a specific group. It  
lists project committers as we have them in the database and as we  
find them in unix groups. When these differ, we list the differences.  
Let webmaster know how to resolve these and other errors you might  
notice.

If you click the arrow on the "Show Unix Groups" heading you will see  
listed each of the unix groups for the project (from above) and the  
IDs assigned to that group. Again we would like to know of any old or  
incorrect information.

Please note: You will see some old logins in these lists. In the past  
we've disabled accounts by changing passwords. Although we have  
recently added a more positive "expire" mechanism we haven't  
exploited it preparing these reports. Since the IDs haven't been  
removed, we still appreciate confirmation that they are no longer needed
