One of the problems I have observed here in RAT is the lack of committers on the project. There are simply not enough people with cycles to apply patches in good time frames (I know from personal experience).
Given the nature of RAT I would strongly suggest existing committers look to recent activity and provide early commit access to people already known to us. To be adopted and therefore improved RAT needs to be adopted by the projects expecting to use it, when a project looks keen to do so we should, at this stage, make it easy for them to do so. Hence, as mentor, I suggest a low barrier to entry for people on ASF projects. Ross -- Ross Gardler OSS Watch - supporting open source in education and research http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk
