I'm pretty sure that if we removed Si's commit access then we would
probably never see another contribution from him. So I guess the

his commits or not have them at all.
Er, maybe.
I've been a committer to OfBiz at two different times. I was removed
the first time due to lack of involvment, and time. OfBiz switched
hosting providers, and didn't bother to add me on the new system, due to
those two issues. I was a little upset, it was true; not because I was
removed, but because I wasn't told I was removed. However, I got over
it. I admitted I was too busy.
However, that has now changed now. I realized that it was worth my while.
To put it bluntly: commit access is not a right, but a privilege. There
are requirements one must follow to keep it. The time required to
participate is not that much.
I've worked with debian in the past, I know full well how much time it
takes; OfBiz participation is much simpler. And, at least with OfBiz,
the payoffs to me and to who I work for are obvious. Is it too much to
ask to be subscribed to this mailing list?
