Normally, it is the _committer_ who sets the flag when (and if) it is decided to accept the contributor's patch and apply it into the code stream. Maybe that's what you meant. In the rare case someone provides patch and it is decided to not use it, it should be marked as "obsolete" (with polite explanation, of course, as to why not used). Hope that helps.

EDT team, 
You might have received some bugzilla notifications regarding the IPLog flag. You can ignore them. However, please read on, because there is a process that we have not been following up until now. 

As part of the Eclipse release process, we have to create an IP (Intellectual Property) Log for EDT. This is equivalent to the Certificate of Originality process for IBM products - it includes the names of everyone who has contributed code to the project, and a list of our 3rd party code. 

The good news is that Eclipse has a tool that crawls through CVS and Bugzilla, to build the list of who has contributed what. The bad news is that we have not been setting the flags in bugzilla that enable this tool to figure out the non-committers who have contributed patches in bugzilla. I have just finished going through all of the patches to set these flags. 

Going forward, here is what you need to know:

• All code patches that are attached in bugzilla need to be marked as a Patch
• If you are a Contributor (not a committer), then also mark the IPLog flag on the attachment (set it to +)
