[technology-pmc] Fwd: [birt-dev] Committer Election for Vikas Nijhawan o

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings Technology PMC.

Please let me handle this. Please let me take care of approving (or not) this election.

The Eclipse BIRT Project has not been operating according to the Eclipse Foundation Development Process for some time. This election is very offside in my opinion. It's pretty clear to me that the committers are representing the interests of their organization exclusively and are not engaging in the open source process.

Frankly, I'm getting very close to scheduling a termination review.

I'd really like a response from the project team, please.

Frankly, if a developer with committer status hadn't actually made a contribution to a repository in more than one year, then they should be a candidate to retire that committer status.

Granting committer status is very much a "what have you done for me lately?" sort of thing. If this individual is ready to be a committer, then we should see at least a few recent contributions from them.

Why make them a committer now?
