Re: [technology-pmc] Requesting approval for code contributions?

[Abel Muiño Vizcaino <amuino@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is currently a flag on bugzilla (in the attachmen details) for  
"review". I'm not sure if that's useful for this case. Otherwise,  
maybe we can manually CC this list on bugzilla when requesting a  
review and the PMC can remove it after approving.

On the other hand, I've kept looking at IP information and found that:
"For simple bug fixes and minor enhancements contributed under the  
Eclipse Foundation Terms of Use, PMC and EMO approval is not required."
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/committerguidelines.php

... which is the opposite of what's written on the top of the IP Poster.
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf

The list of bugs with patches is currently 15 (http://tinyurl.com/iam-patches 
) so once we have cleared if they need PMC approval or not, and how to  
request it, we will start processing them.

Thanks!
