RE: [eclipse-pmc] PMC approval needed for committer vote for SzymonBrand

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The committer lists for the Eclipse
project in the Foundation's database is all wrong. The set of people the
portal thinks can vote rarely matches the set of people who actually have
commit rights. I think at least me/Tod/Paul/Stefan in the list below don't
actually have commit rights in this area. This is a known problem that
we have reported to the foundation in the past:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=249648

In the meantime, we generally follow
an honour system of only voting on a component when we actually have commit
rights. Note also Kim and Sonia in the list below have commit rights on
all Eclipse project components for releng purposes, but generally don't
take part in voting in areas they don't work in directly.

On the other hand, it's relatively easy
to pick out truly inactive commiters, at least at the project level, using
dash.eclipse.org. I believe a purge of inactive commiters was done last
year though, before the membership vote on by-law changes (since too many
inactive commiters could have spoiled the vote).

Huh, 

8 committers from 12 not voting within a week?

Is it time to prune some inactive committers, i.e. move them to
"committer emeritus" status? That should be easy to do in the
portal...
