The statement that Iain " has been actively contributing new code
and enhancements to the Higgins 2.0 codebase." worries me. Where is
the record of the contributions? Are they recorded in the project's
IP Log?
I don't see Higgins 1.1 in the project plan. When are you planning
to release that version?
I am also concerned that the level of transparency demonstrated in
these bugs is pretty low. It'd be nice to see a few words in a
comment from the committer describing the discovered problem and
perhaps citing specific points in the code where changes are
required. Think of the bug as a record of the work done; somebody
reviewing the bugs should be able to at least get a sense for what
has happened.

Paul,
Those bugs don't appear to have any patches or code attached to
them. The expectation is that Iain's contributions are documented
through the bugs in the form of code, not just as bug reports that
he entered. You can then indicate in the bugs that you reviewed
and committed the code he attached.
When that's done, I think you'll need to start the nomination over
again because his original nomination was vetoed by the PMC.

Eric,
In the past month Iain has contributed code and/or fixes
related to the following bugs:
I committed the code and all of the above are now
fixed/closed.
How should we proceed there to resurrect the committer
election process for Iain?

I've been committing code that

Iain has agreed to do this more
transparently for a month. We'll create some bugzilla
entries and he'll attached the code to them, and then
I'll review and commit them in. That way we'll create
the proper public record.

Eric,
We can ask Iain to start
submitting patches to Bugzilla and after say a
month of him doing that perhaps I can re-nominate
him. Does that make sense as a process? Or is
there some other way to do this?

Paul,
Nominations are expected
to include direct references to code
contributions or other concrete evidence of the
nominee's history of contribution. Usually that
includes Bugzilla links that include accepted
patches by the nominee.
This is not intended to
question or doubt Iain's worthiness, but rather
to uphold our standards and transparency.
