Re: [modeling-pmc] Fw: MDT components and inactive committers

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth, the WTP PMC recently
documented our inactive committer policy, and it's available at 
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/wtp-pmc/msg01237.html

or more formally at the end of our component
teams document:

Should we maybe discuss this at our next PMC meeting? It might be useful
for us to document what the Modeling PMC's policy for dealing with inactive
committers is (once we decide on one). ;)

Re: MDT components and inactive committers




Kenn, Ed, and anyone else who is listening :-)
The Modeling Charter doesn't provide much in the way of guidance nor restrictions on removing committers, so I've just been telling people that as long as your process is open and transparent and fair, you can do whatever you want. My _suggestion_ is: publish an email to the dev mailing list saying "these people have been inactive for N months and so we are going to remove their committer status on date Y; comments and critiques are welcome". Then, after a week (date Y), send Anne (emo@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:emo@xxxxxxxxxxx> ) an email saying "please remove these people as committers on project P".

The lists below are correct. I'm not sure whether we can just remove a committer from the list; isn't there some kind of approval/process involved? In any case, there are a number of inactive committers on several of the MDT components; I was planning to send an email to the component leads to identify which committers should no longer have committer access and take the required steps to remove them (Bjorn, any guidance here?).
