I neglected to try and close up this long thread on the subject of code review guidance. In the project's board report to the ASF, I asked for help; Daniel Ruggeri (an ASF VP) graciously volunteered. He's on the "To" line to my message here; he's not a member of our dev list.
Daniel: Thanks in advance for any assistance / guidance you have to offer. I suggest first reading through this thread: https://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Commit-Code-Review-Policy-td4452928.html I find Nabble much easier to navigate than the ASF official archive, but that's here if you prefer: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-dev/201911.mbox/%3ccabewpvet1u4xgxqadddhes+uybexmuw33c8fbs5bzdlzulc...@mail.gmail.com%3e It starts November 26th and ended December 8th. The second thing is my proposal document stored in Confluence. I have yet to rename it as I said I would but I'll let it be for a little bit so the links continue to work for the moment: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENE/Commit+Policy+-+DRAFT Everything from "Tests" heading onwards has a "[PENDING DISCUSSION]" notice and can be ignored for the time being. ~ David
