OK! I've published a protocol revision at http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:22. The main change is this new section: +++ Project Administration * The project founders SHALL act as Administrators to manage the set of project Maintainers. * The Administrators SHALL ensure their own succession over time by promoting the most effective Maintainers. * A new Contributor who makes a correct patch SHALL be invited to become a Maintainer. * Administrators MAY remove Maintainers who are inactive for an extended period of time, or who repeatedly fail to apply this process accurately. So when we get contributors with meaningful rep who make decent patches, I'd suggest a comment like this: "Thanks for your pull request. Would you like to join the Maintainers' team so you can also help review and merge other peoples' pull requests? If so, could you read http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:22 and confirm that you understand this protocol?" -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
