It's up to the community to decide what's the entry barrier, but here a few points to consider: - not everybody worthy a committer-ship might be interested in doing the whole laundry list below - Apache projects are collectives of volunteers, contributing where there want to and when they have time for it. Expecting every and each one of them to cover 27 different areas of possible contributions will slow the community growth to halt - IIRC, this project decided to stick to RTC, which is proven to have a slow-down effect on the participation rate, so be extra careful setting such a high bar
None of what I said means that sloppy coders or arrogant jack-asses should be welcomed with open arms. Say, there's someone who's doing great job in the, say, query optimization part of the project, helps others to understand his work and gives feedback to other contribution in the same area. If the same time the guy doesn't give a hoot about anything else in the project - he should be invited as a committer. But per the following guidelines, he would never be welcomed here. Something to think about, perhaps. Cos On Thu, Dec 17, 2015 at 02:50PM, Lei Chang wrote: > We do not have a finalized answer for this yet.
