[egit-dev] Vote for Committer status for Mykola Nikishov has started

[sop@xxxxxxxxxx (portal on behalf of Shawn Pearce)]

technology.egit Committers,
This automatically generated message signals that Shawn Pearce has
nominated Mykola Nikishov as a Committer on the technology.egit project.
The reason given is as follows:

Since September Mykola has been contributing a steady stream of patches to
EGit.  The project history shows we have accepted 464 lines from individual
14 commits in just over two months.  This might actually be higher than my
own contributions to EGit.  :-)

I think this shows a reasonable track record of contributions.

>From a long-term perspective of "what should a committer be?" within EGit,
I think we should be looking for people who have a solid track record of
useful contributions.

Prior to joining Eclipse this wasn't really that relevant, but I did pay
more attention to patches from people whose name I recognized as producing
useful, worthwhile patches in the past.  In this case Mykola has reached
that point of name recognition with me, making me much more inclined to
accept his work rather than reject it.

Within Eclipse, the primary motivation (to me) for making someone a
committer is to help the foundation keep cleaner IP logs.  There is less
paperwork involved when changes come from a project committer than when
they come from a non-committer.

The vote is being held via the MyFoundation portal: voters *must* use the
portal for the votes to be properly recorded.  The voting will continue
until either all 8 existing Committers have voted or until they have been
given enough time to vote, even if they do not do so (defined as at least
one week). Mykola Nikishov must receive at least three +1s and no -1s for a
successful election.

Eligible Committers must cast their votes through their My Foundation
portal page (do NOT just reply to this email; your vote will not be
correctly recorded unless you use the portal):

    http://portal.eclipse.org/

The project Committers eligible to vote are:

    Chris Aniszczyk
    Christian Halstrick
    Mik Kersten
    Stefan Lay
    Shawn Pearce
    Robin Rosenberg
    Matthias Sohn
    Gunnar Wagenknecht

*NOTE*: Successful elections are left open for a maximum of 60 days to
allow for processing of paperwork.  After that time the election will be
expired, regardless of its current status.  Should papework processing on
the part of the candidate take more time than allowed, a new election will
have to be held.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your project
lead, PMC member, or the EMO <emo@xxxxxxxxxxx>
