  • Thread-topic: Request to Change Committer Conventions
Hello All,
I'd like to make some changes to the committer conventions. This specification seems to have significantly slowed down and stopping the specification from being able to move forward.

I'd like to add a lazy consensus after the two week period. If a pull request does not have the 3 required votes, it requires 1 approval after the two weeks to be merged. This will unblock the PR queue we have now.

I'd also like to remove the -1 kills everything approach. I think we should use a majority. If there are 3 approvals and one -1, the approvals win. If there are more -1's than approvals, then the -1's win 🙂 In the event of a tie and no one is willing to change their vote, the specification leads will make the decision. 

Please note we really need to unblock the pull request queue. Not only is this holding up this specification, it's also holding up the Jakarta EE specifications as well.
