I'm a little curious. I'm a committer on a few projects and am on
the Cocoon PMC. This is the first time I've every heard of a
proposal for people to automatically lose their commit privileges.
Although, I haven't found any rules anywhere that says you can't do
it, it seems a bit odd to me.
I know Jetspeed does it. I started Velocity and noticed I can't
commit to it anymore. I don't where it started. It's easy to get your
access back if you ask. No biggie.
Second, I didn't find anything that discusses just how Maven
distinguishes between committers and PMC members. I know it is up
to each community to decide. I'm just used to all committers also
being able to be on the PMC if they want to. So how does it work here?
People get voted on to the PMC by other PMC members. Being a
committer doesn't automatically get you on the PMC in these parts.
I'm personally not for the free-for-all access to everything. I don't
honestly understand why there is any distinction between a committer
and PMC member in Cocoon if it's always the same thing. Committers
are people who code and contribute, while PMC members are helping to
direct the project.

Hi,
I'd like to propose two things:
1) Establish a list of emeritus committers.
2) Remove inter-project commit restrictions
The first does not depend on the second. But I think the second
does depend on the first. I would like to put each to a separate
vote once all the pros and cons have been gathered from this
discussion. I'd expect each vote to operate as requiring 2/3rds
of the PMC to vote (12), with a majority of +1's within those
votes for it to pass. Other votes would be welcome with reasons
as advisory, but not binding.
* Emeritus committers
Someone can request to be made emeritus at any time they want
(usually because they have moved on to other things, or just
don't have the time). They will be listed as past members of the
team, but have no karma. An emeritus committer can request commit
access again at any time they feel they can be active, and a vote
will be held to accept them or not. To start with, anyone who
hasn't committed in 12 months will be made automatically
emeritus. PMC members will not be made emeritus (unless they
chose to stand down from the PMC).
I'm just curious, what problem does establishing a list of
emeritus committers solve?
Regards,
Alan
