Hi all, of the official committers listed in [1] only Mark, David, Kevin and Jake are actually active. But I think we still need more, so I would like to nominate Bryan as a new committer, he has demonstrated a lot of activity in the Ruby and Java components, just look at how many tickets he has filed.
Although there are others taking care of those components, I think that it's good to have some redundancy. Also, he would bring even more diversity to the project (Facebook, Powerset, Third Rail, and now RapLeaf). On a side note, quoting Bryan from an old e-mail: "It would also be nice to have at least a clear point person for every library so there's someone to email.". IMHO it's a bad signal that one of David's tasks is "Everything". Not that I think David isn't knowledgeable enough or can't manage this project, but it would be nice if tasks/components were more clearly defined: General vision and implementation - Mark Management - David System admnistration - David C++ - David, Mark Java - David, Bryan? Ruby - Kevin, Bryan? Perl - Jake Python - David Erlang - ? C# - ? PHP - ? Haskell - ? Cocoa - ? Smalltalk - ? Haskell - ? Cheers. 1 - http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/about/
