This is very vague. What kind of contributors are you talking about? I
assume you mean people contributing on sunrise, or does that also
imply people who contribute to another project should get those
privileges, too? What kind of people do you have in mind?
Does that mean the contributors become official project members like
devs/ATs?

Stupid question, but why don't they do the quiz and become developer/staff/AT
if they want to work on bugs?
they usually do that, but they work on bugs before they are developers.
What's the reasoning to make another
class of users who can edit bugs?
this is not intended. I just want them to be able to edit bugs they
are working on.
Also is bugzi rights _all_ they are
supposed to get or other stuff, too?
This is only about bugzilla and not about a special group.
Also, what kind of bugzi permissions are we talking about, just
marking bugs as fixed?
permissions like arch testers: edit all aspects of bugs but do not see
developer bugs.

The ebuild quiz is also used in the AT project, so what exactly would
be the difference between your contributor and and an AT/HT?
cannot see much difference. But obviously recruiters/devrel have seen
much difference when I asked.

s/devrel/recruiters and have you talked it over with them or is this
only an assumption? I'm not saying they do have the resources, but
that statement sounds rather final for the first version of a GLEP.
Executive summary (+ some more opinion):
The whole glep is very vague, please be a bit more specific.
that is intentional to allow usage of it in any cases it might be
needed and not just in one special case.
Also, there really should be a good reason to introduce a new class of
"official Gentoo people with extra permissions" as well as a
difference to the ATs. Currently contributor and AT seem to have both
the same requirements and permissions.
honestly I do not care much - I just want the result: bugzilla editing
permissions for one guy I work with in sunrise
If you can show me an easier way to get it done please tell so. I
tried to contact devrel before and that communication ended in that I
should write a GLEP, so here you have it.

Stefan
