I believe that would be OK.
Michele Zuccala just mailed to the list. He said he can provide an ICLA,
which would be easier than adding all his patches to a JIRA with the
checkbox checked.
It's just a matter to send a mail with the ICLA attached (I guess it should
be a scan or a picture of the ICLA with the written signature).
It is not about how much time it takes to scan an ICLA and send it :).
He was not in the initial list of committers and as the [VOTE] has
been accepted and closed and the podling has started I am afraid that
he should gain credits to become a committer.
I know it might sound weird a little at the beginning, but it is not
only about committing code, it is more about understanding the rules
and way of Apache of doing OSS and hence comes these set of rules. And
I have to point that I am not talking about Michele Zuccala in
particular, I am talking in general.
I think you misenderstood me : I never said that sending an ICLA grants
you a commit access.
*if* you have provided a patch, and *if* you are not in the initial list
of committers for this podling, then in order to clear the IP for the
code that you have provided, you must either grant The ASF the right to
use your patch through a JIRA where you checked the 'grant the ASF' box,
or by sending an ICLA.
At least, this is how I understand the IP clearance.
Anyway, I don't think we have hundreds of patches from many people, so
let's do that through JIRA, that would be simpler.
