Thanx Stamatis for starting the thread. I just want to add one more line here that it isn't a number game, Most of the folks on the PMC go through the reviews as well, what they were actually, The main stuff is whether the folks on the PMC trust someone to review the code once they are committer, do they show adequate understanding of the code from it and are encouraged enough to review the code properly along with contributing to it.
Just mentioning, So in case anyone thinks opening all the PRs and just shooting a +1/LGTM on every PR, without actually reviewing will be a hack, then that ain't gonna work & will just backfire :-) -Ayush On Tue, 3 Sept 2024 at 17:21, Stamatis Zampetakis <zabe...@apache.org> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Recently, I have been discussing with some people from the Hive PMC > about the requirements to invite someone to become a Hive committer. > For those who are not aware there is a page in the wiki which outlines > the process [1]. > > Going over the list of contributors, we have noticed that there are > various very promising candidates with solid code contributions and > technical skills.
