Right, Mark. I think we would be effectively raising the bar to some extent for what it takes to be a committer. We'd also be making contrib a first class citizen (not that it ever wasn't, but some people have that perception). Finally, I think we need to recognize that not everyone needs to be a McCandless in order to contribute in a helpful way. I think sometimes we forget that you can do svn revert. Obviously, we don't want to have to do it often, but it's not a huge deal if it happens. We've all been there. -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
