Some say " the more the merrier". That would be true if committers are and stay committed to the project.Right now the number of committers is huge and the number of active committers is rather small. Issues are still created for all 90+ plugin projects, but for some projects nobody feels responsible anymore, so those issues often stay open forever. That's sad and might become a dangerous situation for the whole project.So yes: keep introducing new committers, but we might need to do a clean up too (if that's possible within xircles) -Robert Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 12:51:37 -0400 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mojo-dev] People looking for commit access...
Yeah, as one of the people on the list, I can say for myself that the directions on the site have always been clear enough. However, I think it was assumed that requesting commit access via xircles was better (from an administrative POV) than a "Hey, can I be a committer, too?" on the dev list. I originally requested commit privs because I had some free time to contribute in knocking down some outstanding JIRAs relating to plugins I was using most and waiting for patches to be applied was sometimes not much fun. I hope to have time to get involved a bit more in the future so please do what you think is best in regards to my request.

There is also a page from the sidebar on contributing: http://mojo.codehaus.org/contribution/submitting-a-plugin.html Subscribe to the developer mailing list and ask if there is an interest in the plugin. If there is an interest, package the plugin in a tarball or a zip file, create an issue for the component "Plugin Submission" in our issue tracker and attach the source code there. Make sure that you try to follow our development guidelines. This is rather explicit, so I don't think we really need a page on becoming a contributor.
