I have heard some stories about politics at Avalon, but being new, ignorant and only interested in the technical aspect of Merlin/Avalon, I think
Stephen would be a major asset for the project to activate more, if he wants.
So, the purpose of this vote is to give Stephen McConnell a more active role
in the projects code base by granting him committer status.
I wanted to give some closure to this vote.
As for myself I agree completely with Leif. I move that the vote is tabled and we wait for the Board decision on the Metro TLP which will occur this Wednesday. If for some reason the TLP proposal is postponed or rejected, then we should reopen this vote.
I appreciate Niclas's work in applying the patches for Stephen. I applied a few myself early on, but haven't had much time lately. One trouble is that since the patches are showing up in the mailing list instead of JIRA there's no way to know what got patched and what didn't unless you also watch the SVN commit logs. So it might be easier if Stephen used JIRA to submit the patches, that way we could be sure they get committed. That's only my suggestion though. If the mailing list approach is working, then there's no pressing reason to change.
