Re: [birt-dev] Committer Election for ravikiran katneni on Eclipse Busin

[EMO EMO <emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neither of the cited commits are signed-off and, AFAICT, the contributor's ECA had been expired before the date of one of the two contributions.

Passing an ECA/signed-off-by check is a fundamental requirement.  Our legal requirements regarding comments are described in the handbook (and the commit is clearly marked as failing to pass validation).

On what basis were these commits accepted?

Further, these commits are both more than a year old. If an existing committer were inactive for this long, they would be a candidate for retirement.

It's not at all clear to me that this candidate is active enough or understands our processes well enough to be given committer responsibility.

Am I missing something?
