So, we have nearly 1500 lines of code changes committed in CLOUDSTACK-306. There's 10 people related to the issues listed below, I believe they're all from the same employer.
Folks, this is hindering our process to graduate to a top level Apache project. The first few times it's an honest mistake, but now i begin to wonder exactly what steps we need to take to ensure it stops happening. I'm hoping (expecting, really) somebody can shed some light for us why this is happening. Lastly, while not a threat, I would like to remind people that being a committer is a privilege, and that when the PPMC considers people for either committer or PPMC status, we do review their participation within the community.
