To me vouching is more than just signaling someone has made a contribution to Mozilla but that they have made a sustaining contributions and deserve the trust of the community and project. Vouch *v.* *vouched*, *vouch·ing*, *vouch·es* *1. * To give personal assurances; give a guarantee: vouch for an old friend's trustworthiness. When people vouch someone they are guaranteeing that the person is trustworthy and a sustained good contributor IMHO. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
