Re: [eclipse-pmc] New Component Leads in the Eclipse Project
|
We don't formally track component leads. In fact, we don't really have
any notion of "component" in the EDP any more. Components tend to be
more of a concept within a project and tend to be managed via social
convention. Component leadership is therefore also more of a social
convention. Everything that was a "component" is really now a "project"
(or "subproject" if you prefer).
With Bug 324772 [1], we have managed to clean up the UNIX groups for the
Eclipse project. Now, we have started a process of aligning the projects
with these changes.
Platform Ant (eclipse.platform.ant) was flagged as a candidate for
retirement. The project itself is meaningless as it existed only to
provide a distinct UNIX group for committers; those committers (and the
directories they have access to) have been moved (I'm not sure how, but
I believe that information is available in one of the attachments on the
bug).
Since Platform Debug and JDT Debug still exist in the new scheme, I'd
like to suggest that we turn them into proper projects and assign the
named committers as PLs. This change should really only mean that these
"projects" will need to have a little portal metadata specified for them
(set the "inherit" flag to true at a minimum). Let me know if this needs
any more 'splainin'.
Please take a look at the list of projects that John has identified in
the bug as retirement candidates and comment appropriately. Note that
none of the listed projects have any actual meaning with regard to
commit rights after the group cleanup.

Dear EMO,
the Eclipse PMC has ratified the following new component leads:
Michael Rennie for Platform Ant
Pawel Piech for Platform Debug
Michael Rennie for JDT Debug
Not sure whether you need to approve this since this is below the
(sub-project) level.
