Hi Daniel Thanks for the reminder. I've been involved with Apachecon and Community Development stuff so this dropped down my my task list.
My suggested changes are as follows: You document uses (s)he and on the ASF email tips, it recommends avoiding the use of gender specific terms like he or she. (For info â In December last year I ran a survey of the ASF Committers and it showed that have more genders than just he and she). So I'd suggest making it gender neutral by using 'they' and so change - (s)he has to they have - (s)he is to they are - (s)he may to they may - (s)he should to they should - CLA vs ICLA â I think it is full term ICLA (Individual Contributor Licence Agreement) although the page your refer does call them CLA. - Change âit's sometimes looked overâ to â it's sometimes overlookedâ - Change âThe commit comment should automatically describe that it's a merge and if from where.â to something like â'The commit comment should automatically describe that it's a merge and if so, where it was merged fromâ - Change âIn general, pull request merge commits should adhere to the same policies as if the Committer who commits directly into the Apache git repository.â to something like âIn general, pull request merge commits should adhere to the same policies that Committers use to commit directly into the Apache git repository.â - Change âFor each release, one of the Committers plays the role of Release Manager.â to âFor each release, one of the Committers takes on the role of Release Manager.â - Change âIf someone reports a security vulnerability, normally he shouldn't do it on a public forumâ to âIf someone reports a security vulnerability, normally they shouldn't do it on a public forumâ I think that was all the main things I noticed.
