I would say that "commiter" is still a valid term in a DVCS. - Commiting means adding new revisions into a repository - Pushing is just the action to copy some revisions from a repository to another A "Python commiter" is authorized to commit revisions to the central hg.python.org/cpython repository, whether it's by copying them from another repository, or by doing a direct commit (via push). The latter happens to be unnecessary, Cheers Tarek > Cheers, > Nick. > > -- > Nick Coghlan | [email protected] | Brisbane, Australia > _______________________________________________ > python-committers mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
