Hi,
I guess I can understand how to get credits for the "committer" status.
As a contributor, I would like to see a well-defined measurable path which I
can see how I make progresses toward the goal. It leads two questions:
1) How many points do we need to gain to become a committer?
2) How do we measure the contributions? Is it just an impression or sense
from existing committers or do we run some statistics once a while?
Thanks,
Raymond

Just a reminder to those US and Canadian people who've been on holiday
that
this thread is here. Be nice to get a few more comments / opinions aired
from both committers and non-committers on what contributors need to have
done to in order to be made a committer.

There's a number of people who've been contributing patches to Tuscany

some time now so we should start thinking about what it takes to be made
a
committer.
An old Incubator webpage had this to say (the page isn't available right
now):
"If a developer has contributed a significant number of high-quality
patches, is interested in continuing the contribution, has demonstrated
the
ability to work well with others under the Apache guidelines, it may be
proposed to grant that developer commit access."
I think it should take a bit more than code to be made a committer -
participation in mailing list discussions, the weekly IRC chats, votes,
and
things like that. And its not just code, high-quality patches could
include
things for documentation or web site. Right now i think it shouldn't be
to
hard to become a committer, if someone has been demonstrating an interest
in
the project for a while we should encourage that.
What do others think?
