I just invited you to have write access to the Apertium phenny repo :) This is an important discussion, and one that's come up before, but it won't be resolved in time for the election. So, for now, the easiest work-around is to make sure everyone who thinks and who other contributors think should be a Commiter be granted official Commiter status by being given write access to the appropriate repo(s).
Also, I think we should consider starting a separate "apertium-committers" email list that's more for bureaucratic and policy-related discussions like this and doesn't need to include people who are just here for the language technology stuff and don't care to be involved in policy discussions. -- Jonathan ср, 26 февр. 2020 г. в 13:11, Scoop Gracie <scoopgra...@gmail.com>: > > I have requested write access on IRC, but never got an answer. > > On Wed, Feb 26, 2020, 10:09 Juan Pablo <jpm...@unizar.es> wrote: >> >> Rather than ammending the bylaws, wouldn't it be simpler that you (and any >> others that may feel sidelined) file a request to the PMC asking to be >> granted committer status?
