I can't find the Official Apache rules on "becomming a commiter" But six +1 and no -1. Sounds like concurance to me.
Unless I hear otherwise I will ask infrastructure to make Adam and account. (Or does a member need to do that).
The process is pretty simple: an email needs to be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking for an id (sending the note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] also would work).
It helps if the request is fairly complete (names, emails, groups, etc). Gump is a special case as it is open to all committers, otherwise the specific cvs trees also need to be identified.
The other thing to consider is that the person receiving the request needs to be able to validate that this request is proper. There are multiple ways to achieve that. One is simply to be as well known as I am. ;-) Another is to copy the relevant PMC, thereby enabling anybody who might object an opportunity to do so (essentially authentication by lazy consensus). A third way is to provide specific hypertext links to the mailing list whereby the votes took place.
Rules of thumb: don't be shy. And remember that the person on the other end of that email is a human. The request may happen in minutes. If not, and a few days go by, ping nicely.
