Hi Sebastian. Thank you for your comment. That's why I said "I would propose", because I don't know if it's possible as my experience with Apache is limited to the MXNet project. How do you interpret this part?: "Since the appointed Project Management Committees have the power to create their

I would propose the two following action points: * Resetting the list of committers to people that have contributed in the previous terms in the latest 6 months * Suspend veto rights temporarily and use simple majority for decisions that need a vote so we realign the project with the

Great points and feedback. I think everyone here wants the best for the project. We should definitely not shoot down pioneering contributions and be more inclusive with people that are actively contributing to the community with not just code. This should include code, documentation, website

That wasn't what I was trying to say (I'll try again - tis late and I'm sure I'm speaking poorly :) ). It says: "When it comes to code contributions, quality is more important than quantity. While all contributions are welcome and highly appreciated, certain guidelines will be applied when it

Hen, As you stated, it's of significance of how much a PR has to be changed as a result of a review. I think this is what this project defines as quality. If people submit a bunch of PRs and we reviewers spend a lot of time on every single one of them to give the contributors advice about how to

On the 'Becoming+a+Committer' guidelines, I dislike this phrase: "When it comes to code contributions, quality is more important than quantity" There is only one 'quality' measurement, and that is "was the code merged". If someone makes 10 different contributions and they were all horrible and
