I have been inactive committer to SWT project for certain period
(approx 6 months). Now, I would like to make commits to SWT regularly, so I
need commit access to the repository. Can anyone help me in gaining the commit
rights ?
My User Id : pinnamur.
Please let me know if any other info is required.
Regards,
Praveen.

Subject: Eclipse project committer changes
Eclipse Project
Committers: PLEASE READ! Your commit rights may be affected if you do not act
on this message.
For historical reasons,
the Eclipse project has a complex set of Unix permission groups controlling
access to its source code. Many of these groups do not correspond to active
component areas, making committer elections and access management unnecessarily
complex for both Eclipse project committers and Foundation staff. We are
seeking to rectify this situation by creating a normalized Unix group structure
that maps directly to each of our projects and sub-projects. At the same time,
we are taking the opportunity to clear out committers who have been inactive
for extended periods. Essentially, we are only planning to add active
committers into the newly created Unix groups that will control write access to
our source repository.
If you are
currently a committer on the Eclipse project (Platform,JDT,PDE,e4), please
review the listing at [1] of proposed associations between committer IDs and
groups. The mapping from Unix groups to projects in our repository can be found
at [2]. No committer who is active or interested in remaining active should
lose commit access to any source code they currently have write access to. If
you believe this has occurred, please reply to this note on the eclipse-dev
mailing list so it can be corrected. Note that some committers may gain write
access to source code they previously didn't have access to as part of this
change. Those committers are expected to maintain their usual discretion and
avoid modifying code without first discussing with active committers in that
area.
Apologies if
you receive this note multiple times. Changing or removing commit rights is a
process we do not take likely, and we are using every possible channel to make
sure committers are made aware of the change. Component leads are encouraged to
forward this note to their component mailing lists to ensure all committers are
reached.
