Please don't take a statement out of context and extrapolate from that that a long standing policy is entirely not applicable and invalid. If you interpret Roy's statement narrowly - i.e., that a contribution that a committer claims is 100% their original work - needs no further clearance, then that likely is something over which we can find consensus. If you interpret Roy's statement too liberally - i.e. that groups of committers don't need to collaborate with the oversight of a PMC, track who has contributed or who has not, or do their work using of ASF infrastructure; for all we care they can simply reimport their work wholesale when then wish to make an ASF release - then that is not likely to fly. I don't know what statement Roy is referring to, so I won't challenge it directly. Instead I will ask that people work together to find out what processes are right for the ASF at this point in time, even if these processes are different than the ones that we used 10, 5, or even just 2 years ago. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
