Re: [eclipse-pmc] A request to decouple ACL for core components

I count 14 components under the Eclipse platform project. I believe that I count 54 UNIX groups in Denis' email. It's not entirely clear to me which of those UNIX groups belongs to which component.

I am recommending that we collapse those 54 groups into 14. That is, one UNIX group for each component. Do we really need 54 different UNIX groups? Doesn't that just make things confusing for everybody?

Since the beginning, the Eclipse top-level project is structured into
sub-projects (Platform, JDT and PDE) and those into components. Each
component with its own component lead and committers. Committer voting is
done on a component basis and access granted for that component. That's why
we have that many groups. As said before, for some like e.g. Team and CVS
it might really make sense to fold them together because it turned out that
the same group of committers is working in both. For others like Runtime
and Resource this is not the case.

Why do we need separate groups of committers within the same project?

What is the process by which an existing committer is added to another
group? e.g. what do you do when you decide that a committer on
plat-ui-home needs to also be a committer on plat-rcp? Do you just
contact webmaster and ask them to make it so?

It depends on what gets folded together. I'm also against folding e.g.
all
JDT components into one (or even fold more stuff together). But in case
of
e.g. Team and CVS the set of committers is (almost?) identical and clean
that up could reduce overhead.

FWIW, collapsing your group structure does not require any kind of

community review; you can just work with the webmaster to get it done.

Bit of a tangent but...  Doesn't collapsing the structure involve people
getting more commit rights than they used to have?  This should likely
involve the community.
