Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-8248:
-------------------------------------
To add a little more: I think the requirement of 3 committer +1s from people
who didn't work on the branch will make it really hard to ever merge branches.
Looking, for example, at the recent HA branch merge, it listed the following
people as patch contributors:
bq. Contributed by Todd Lipcon, Aaron T. Myers, Eli Collins, Uma Maheswara Rao
G, Bikas Saha, Suresh Srinivas, Jitendra Nath Pandey, Hari Mankude, Brandon Li,
Sanjay Radia, Mingjie Lai, and Gregory Chanan
Finding 3 active committers who are not on that list and are knowledgeable
about NN internals would have been very difficult. In fact of the committers
who did +1 the merge, you're the only one who isn't in the above list :)
