So are we now saying that "merit" applies across the ASF?
In a sense, WRT trust, IMO, yes.
+1, with respect to trust. If someone in Apache trusts them, that is
good enough for me.
With respect to having the *technical* skills to contribute to Forrest,
it is different, being a committer on, for example, PHP, does not mean
one has the technical skills to contribute to Forrest. However, I
*trust* such a committer to avoid interfering without community
involvement/approval.
In other words, I trust any Apache committer to know their own abilities
and the boundaries they should/should not cross.
In this particular proposal we are talking about Cocoon committers
(people who build our foundations) and Lenya committers (people who
build the other "end" of the publishing process on the Cocoon framework).
True Nicola proposed going across the whole ASF. I'm not sure about that
yet, although my argument above, and Nicolas similar argument seems to
say I should be happy with it... still thinking.
What I am sure about (in my own mind) is that we should lower the
barriers to those who are technically akin to ourselves - i.e. Lenya and
Cocoon.
IOW, I trust them, so I give them access.
After earning merit we can have also participation in the project AKA be
a PMC member.
+1
