Hi Vincent / all,
The doc contains a few main points. Some more clear than others. Here
are some comments on how I read it, both for ensuring I understand you
correctly, and for discussion:
1. Steering committee and new maintainers roles and election
The doc doesn't say how maintainers are appointed / elected.
I have no objection to the new definitions.
2. Review of patches
There is no obligation on anyone to take on review of a patch.
I think this is needed to ensure a vibrant quagga. I think review
should be one of the requirements for being on the steering
committee, and as a backup for when reviews are not done by others.
3. Dispute resolution
Falls to steering committee. I think is fine as long as dispute
discussions take place in public (e.g., on list, public meetings ) and
decisions are always reviewed on list.
4. Ack’ed code
Goes to a development branch. This is great and one of the
main things not happening in a timely fashion today.
I also think the development branch should always be in
the same place -- master makes sense to me but
*any stable place* would be a huge improvement.
4. Release process/cycle
I think this is largely a separable discussion than the above. Also I
found the text a bit vague and confusing. I suggest moving/combining
this with the other process doc and discussing separately.
If I correctly interpret what you're saying, I think the process itself
is fine assuming it is coupled with a fixed release schedule, e.g.,
per CE.
Thanks,
Lou
