> Our schedule calls for us to create our release branch this Wednesday,

> to
> the release branch will require approval.
> 
> I'd like to enlist your help with the approval process. When a

> fix comes in, it needs two forms of review:
> 
> 1. Review by someone who focuses on the release goals and schedule
> 
> 2. Review by someone (other than the author) who knows the code being
> patched and can speak to the change's significance and safety
> 
> My job is item 1. For item 2, I need experts in the various components
> of
> qpid.
> 
> So here's my proposal: approval of kinds 1 (from me) and 2 (from
> someone
> familiar with the code being changed) must be indicated in jira
> comments
> before a change may be committed to the release branch.
> 
> In order to this efficiently, we need clear lines of responsibility.

> Here's what I have so far for component owners:
> 
> C++ clustering Alan
> C++ client and broker Gordon
> Java client Rajith
> Java broker Robbie
> QMF Ted
