Maybe I am not making myself clear. I
have no problem with have 3 existing committers work with Nathan and ensure his
work is correct. In fact this is what Denis and I set out from the start.
My issue is that Bjorn has stipulated that the only way to be
transparent and public is thru bugzilla. I believe this adds a
level a bureaucracy that we have not had on the Phoenix project, especially as it related to
content, and adds no value. Whenever I have posted a new member,
press release, news item, event, etc. I have not used bugzilla. I
honestly don’t understand why entering a press release into bugzilla
makes the posting of the press release more transparent. The content is
live on the web site and everyone gets to see it? Maybe I am missing
something?
I do agree that my original nomination for
Nathan was lacking details. I believe I have corrected that
omission in subsequent posts. Everyone can see the work Nathan has done
and evaluate it. I believe Bjorn needs to take a more holistic approach
in how we have been adding content to the web site. I just don’t
see how opening a bug to say you posted a community bulletin or update an rss
feed adds value or makes it more transparent. Bjorn, it would be great if
you can explain this?

Because we wanted Phoenix to be open and transparent. Plus
that allows us to leverage the infrastructure such as Bugzilla for interacting
with the community.
As far as I am concerned, Bjorn is right.
Let's just get on with following the correct process for having Nate become a
committer. He will make a great addition to the team.
We have to follow the same rules as
everyone else. Bjorn's the Technology PMC leader and he lives this every day.
We should be happy that he's giving us such great advice.
I'm sure that you'll let me know if this
is a dumb question, but...
Why is eclipse.org a project?
