Hi folks, As a step to remove unnecessary overhead, we are proposing that we amend the Commit Access Policy for Level 1 commit access to remove the vouching requirement for Mozilla employees. Level 1 access allows users to access the Try Server as well as creating user repositories. It does not allow commits to either product repositories or the repositories for Mozilla sites and services. There is a long history of trying to separate employment from commit access, dating back to the earliest days of Mozilla under the Netscape umbrella. The historical rationale was that early Mozilla leaders felt the need to mitigate poor hiring practices by imposing an additional vouching process. Over time we have slowly walked back these restrictions without harm, and this change should be quite safe. In evaluating this change, the primary risk in granting Level 1 access is excessive resource consumption, rather than unfettered access to important repositories. We have full confidence that Mozilla employees will be responsible consumers of these resources, and that we will not introduce material risks to our products. Specifically, the following text:
Requirements: one voucher - any other user with level 2 or above access will be replaced by Requirements: - Contributors require one voucher - any other user with level 2 or above access - Mozilla Employees do not require additional vouching. If there are no unresolved objections, I will update the policy on December 18, 2020. -- Mike _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
