Taking ownership is a mindset, and is very different from any kind of recognized "having ownership". We shouldn't tag areas as "owned" by someone, as that could discourage others getting involved in that area. It might also encourage deference to the "owner", which would also be a bad thing. We sometimes naturally defer to someone with more experience in an area than we have, but it should continue to be on an informal case-by-case basis. > It could be > useful to people not "in the know" on who to contact The right contact point is this mailing list. There's already way to much off-list (and off IRC channel) collaboration that goes on IMO. -Yonik http://lucidworks.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
