Re: [eclipse-pmc] A request to decouple ACL for core components

Since the beginning, the Eclipse top-level project is structured into
sub-projects (Platform, JDT and PDE) and those into components. Each
component with its own component lead and committers. Committer voting is
done on a component basis and access granted for that component. That's why
we have that many groups. As said before, for some like e.g. Team and CVS
it might really make sense to fold them together because it turned out that
the same group of committers is working in both. For others like Runtime
and Resource this is not the case.

Why do we need separate groups of committers within the same project?

What is the process by which an existing committer is added to another
group? e.g. what do you do when you decide that a committer on
plat-ui-home needs to also be a committer on plat-rcp? Do you just
contact webmaster and ask them to make it so?
