Dear MXNet Community: There is a great discussion going on in terms of lowering the barrier of entries and encourage more contribution to the project. One of the general goals is to encourage a broader pool of contributions. I want to make the following proposal:
Besides Committers and PMC, let us also recognize Reviewers in the community. This is a "pseudo role" as there is no such official role in Apache. But I want to explore the possibility of recognising active reviewers for example, by adding a list of names in the contributor list. In general, I find it is really helpful to have more code reviews. Recognising good reviewers early enables us to find candidate for committers, and encourage them to contribute and understand what is the bar of code quality that is required to merge the code. This can provide the community more evidence when recruiting new committers. After all committers is about write access to the code and understand the consequence of the responsibility -- which is usually can be found in high quality reviews. Please let me know what you think. Tianqi
