Re: [technology-pmc] Committer Nominations

Thanks for starting this discussion.

I agree with your list. Can I assume, though, that we still need to have an actual statement of merit that summarizes the manner of the contribution?

FWIW, I think that we can generate a reasonable default merit statement 80% of the time.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366435

Even worse, there is a +1 vote from another committer with the comment "I don't know who this person is." (!).
I'm inclined to interpret this as a 0 and an indication that we need to provide better education for new committers and project team.s

Technology PMC Members,

Given the recent case - I'd like to have a discussion about the "meritocratic nature" of the nomination process.


I see the following possibilities for demonstrating merit:

(1) Contributions to an existing projects
-> proof is Gerrit, bugs with patches, pull requests and/or wiki edits

(2) Ownership of new component brought (migrated) into a project
-> proof is CQ with source and commit/author info (ideally log)

(3) Project reboot (existing committers are inactive and need to be replaced to keep project alive)
-> proof of inactivity

Thoughts?



Note:

Even worse, there is a +1 vote from another committer with the comment "I don't know who this person is." (!).

That's a clear no-go. It's our responsibility as a PMC to catch this. For me this translates into a -1 (ignoring the actual vote). As such, I'd immediately veto the committer election.
