Hi,
+1
I have some comments though:
- maybe the list could also be kept in svn or svn metadata somewhere
(perhaps explicitly listing them with no karma, such as @emeritus=ro in
svn config?) since web pages aren't really good for archiving
- these people should be send a direct e-mail notifying them so they
know what's going on. If they've been unactive in such a long
period it's higly likely that they don't follow the dev list anymore,
and should they want to participate again they'd be in for a big surprise.
- What will exactly happen if somebody wishes to get karma again?
They've probably shown they were worthy of karma in the past; should
their commits from > 12 months ago be checked again to see if their
contributions
are 'good enough'? Should they first file patches again like normal
non-committers
that will be evaluated? Or will it be just a quick vote to check for any
objections?
- How do other projects deal with emeritus committers? Is this conforming to
apache-wide standards?

Hi,
Vote to operate as
- requiring 2/3rds of the PMC to vote (13), with a majority within those
votes for it to pass (ie, add them all and if the result is > 0). Other
votes would be welcome with reasons as advisory, but not binding.
- Votes can be changed at any time before result is posted.
- Vote is open for at least 72 hours, completing once enough have voted
after that.
I propose to establish a list of emeritus committers.
- Someone can request to be made emeritus at any time they want
- They will be listed as past members of the team (we will set up a
special page for this), 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.
- PMC members will not be made emeritus (unless they chose to stand down
from the PMC).
To start with, anyone who hasn't committed in 12 months will be made
automatically emeritus. ie, this vote is to make the following people
emeritus:
- Pete Kazmier
- Peter Lynch
- Tom Copeland
- Dan Diephouse
- Alex Karasulu
- Ben Walding
- Daniel Rall
- David Eric Pugh
- Geir Magnusson Jr
- Kasper Nielsen
- Kurt Schrader
- Stephane Mor
- Bob McWhirter
- Peter Donald
- Peter Royal
- Johnny R. Ruiz III
[ ] +1, establish list of emeritus committers
[ ] +0, abstain
[ ] -1, do not establish a list of emeritus committers
Cheers,
Brett
