I would like to propose an alternative: the "GRAND-FATHER"-ing proposal to make all existing hadoop committers be committers on all three new sub-projects. And then adopt a process to create new committers specific to one sub-project. There are two main reasons for doing this:
1. The proposal of breaking up the existing set of committers into individual sub-projects seem to be adhoc. I would hate to support a scheme that causes more controversy, especially among the core set of committers. 2. I have never seen an existing committer abuse his priviledge/responsibility to commit code that is not approved by the community-at-large thanks, dhruba On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:18 AM, Owen O'Malley <omal...@apache.org> wrote: > On May 14, 2009, at 7:15 PM, Owen O'Malley wrote: > > Another aspect of the split is that I need to divide the committers up to > the sub-projects where they work.
