Re: [eclipse-dev] Eclipse project committer changes

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You're right Susan, thanks for pointing
it out. I think this project maps best to the "eclipse.platform"
group, which is a general group for the top-level project. These plugins
don't contain much code, but are important because they control all aspects
of branding for the Platform and SDK products. So here is what I have done:

- Changed the projects org.eclipse.platform
and org.eclipse.sdk to belong to "eclipse.platform" group.
- Added sfranklin, pwebster, and gheorghe
to the eclipse.platform group. This captures all active committers from
the plat-rel-core group that weren't already listed as part of the eclipse.platform
group.

I think there may be a loss of access with respect to
the org.eclipse.platform bundle.
We've had committers there (such as myself and Bogdan) who had commit rights
in order to commit css changes for e4, or new splash screens for 3.x and
4.x.
It was always confusing to me how this was organized. In the portal we
used "eclipse.platform.plat-rel-core" as the project when we
wanted to give someone rights to the org.eclipse.platform bundle.

As I read these tables, the org.eclipse.platform bundle now maps to the
ACL "eclipse.platform.releng" and I don't see myself or Bogdan
as committers for this ACL.

Eclipse Project Committers: PLEASE READ! Your commit rights may be affected
if you do not act on this message. 


For historical reasons, the Eclipse project has a complex set of Unix permission
groups controlling access to its source code. Many of these groups do not
correspond to active component areas, making committer elections and access
management unnecessarily complex for both Eclipse project committers and
Foundation staff. We are seeking to rectify this situation by creating
a normalized Unix group structure that maps directly to each of our projects
and sub-projects. At the same time, we are taking the opportunity to clear
out committers who have been inactive for extended periods. Essentially,
we are only planning to add active committers into the newly created Unix
groups that will control write access to our source repository.

If you are currently a committer on the Eclipse project (Platform,JDT,PDE,e4),
please review the listing at [1] of proposed associations between committer
IDs and groups. The mapping from Unix groups to projects in our repository
can be found at [2]. No committer who is active or interested in remaining
active should lose commit access to any source code they currently have
write access to. If you believe this has occurred, please reply to this
note on the eclipse-dev mailing list so it can be corrected. Note that
some committers may gain write access to source code they previously didn't
have access to as part of this change. Those committers are expected to
maintain their usual discretion and avoid modifying code without first
discussing with active committers in that area. 

Apologies if you receive this note multiple times. Changing or removing
commit rights is a process we do not take likely, and we are using every
possible channel to make sure committers are made aware of the change.
Component leads are encouraged to forward this note to their component
mailing lists to ensure all committers are reached.
