Hi Donald, (and anyone else who may have an opinion)
I'm not really sure who to direct this question, but you're mail
prompted me to send this message - so it's going to you. My question is?

What is a gatekeeper and where are Quagga project roles defined?
>From my vantage points I see that there are:
Users:
Folks who use quagga, and may also fill other project roles. Users
also report issues they may find and provide feedback on planned changes.
Contributors:
Folks like me/LabN which (occasionally) write code that is
submitted back to the project. I'm including both folks that fix bugs
and author new code in this category. Some may subdivide this category,
but I haven't for simplicity sake.
Reviewers:
Folks that review submitted code and provide feedback. I'm also
including folks that test contributions and candidate releases. (I/LabN
have also done some of this.)
Maintainers:
Those who help Contributors get their submissions into a branch &
mainline and shepherd a release. These folks are able to devote
substantial time to the project either through apparent direct financial
support for their activity or otherwise make their time available.
Advisors:
The 'grey beards' who have long(er) term perspective on the project.
I can see where I and others on quagga-dev fit into this breakdown, but
don't really see this type of breakdown documented anywhere and the
recent discussion on this topic have (frankly) been a bit confusing to me.
Thanks,
Lou
PS I'm hoping for a simple answer, but suspect there isn't one - at
least yet.
