Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-7769:
-------------------------------------------

> The ambiguity is whether ...

At least we agree that there is an ambiguity.  I think no one care about the 
ambiguity since, as [~shv] mentioned, HADOOP-8248 has been around for 3 years.  
Why not clarify the bylaws?

> Requiring another committer to review also blocks development on "dead" areas 
> of the codebase with only a single maintainer. Those either need to move out 
> of the project or find new committers to help maintain it.

I did see in some cases that a committer asked a non-committer to post a patch 
with some very detailed code advise, then acted as a reviewer and then 
committed the patch.  Or two or more committers blindly +1'ed on each others 
patches, even patches with trivial problems.  Not sure how to avoid these 
problems.

Indeed, I hope that we could revise the bylaws, especially for the development 
branch case.  Does it count if a committer who has contributed to a development 
branch +1 on the merge vote?
