Re: [eclipse-dev] [cross-project-issues-dev] Eclipse project committer changes

I'm fine with either that or John's suggestion.

Equinox should likely have its own doc bundle.  See Bug 330005.

For now however, perhaps we can have an equinox-doc group and get the
webmaster to give it ACLs on the platform.isv project?

      John,

      I see a small problem with docs.  There are a few of us who are
      committers on Equinox (p2 in particular), but not the 'Eclipse'
      project itself.  However, the p2 docs are in the platform.isv bundle,
      and with the new ACL, I think we will loose access to the doc
      bundles.

      cheers,

        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.
