---------------------------
Summary: ICLA lookup for notinavail
Key: WHIMSY-228
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-228
Project: Whimsy
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Sebb
>From the mailing list [1]:
"I'd like to propose a new whimsy feature: ICLA lookup for notinavail
This would allow authorized users (those with read access to
foundation/officers/iclas.txt) to search iclas.txt for specific names, even for
notinavail (those found in unlisted-iclas).
This would be an extension of the current committers search
https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/ allowing to search iclas.txt for
notinavail members if the name was not found elsewhere.
This tool would be used by PMC members when inviting new committers. The PMC
would look at roster/committer to see if the proposed committer was already a
committer. If not, and the notinavail entry was found, the PMC could use the
email address in iclas.txt to invite the new committer to provide an apache id
and verify the email address.
I'm working on an update for
http://community.apache.org/newcommitter.html#new-committer-process that will
spell out how PMCs are supposed to deal with proposed committers that already
are committers or already have an ICLA on file. This feature would be easier to
use than asking the PMC member to access and search iclas.txt manually.
