First, BuildFileRule sounds like a great idea; do not see a patch so cannot
comment further.
Second, should Michael just be nominated as a committer? The @Ignore change was
complex and valuable, and refactoring unit tests demonstrates serious intent.
Third, why are we still using Subversion when we could be using Git [1]? Apache makes us keep the “official” repo on git.apache.org. That is lame, especially given the
existence of CLAHub [2]; but with Git you can still do your real work on GitHub, whose crown jewel is of course the pull request system. PRs make it much, much easier to
evaluate, comment on, iterate, and accept contributions than patches attached to Bugzilla—and make the distinction between “committer” and “frequent contributor” only a
matter of whether you have the permission to click the “Merge” button at the end.
That said, Antoine is doing most of the work these days so whatever environment
he is most comfortable in wins. Just thought I would put out a probe.
