I've noticed that Pawel is not listed as a committer on
eclipse.platform.debug. This will be fixed as we continue the
alignment process (so that our database matches the group
assignments indicated in the bug).
I have turned eclipse.platform.debug and eclipse.jdt.debug into
proper projects in the database. At some point, the two new project
leads should go to the portal and make sure that the "inherit" bit
is on.

That's exactly right
Wayne. What we called
"components" were always really third-level sub-projects in EDP
terms. Each of our new ACLs should represent a sub-project in
your database.
That alignment is underway now under bug 324772. So, Platform
Debug and
JDT Debug are sub-projects of Platform and JDT respectively (I
thought
this was actually already the case for these two). Platform Ant
no longer
exists as a distinct sub-project.
We will want to keep the metadata
minimal
for projects at that level to avoid the extra overhead. I expect
most or
all third-level projects will use the "inherit" flag to avoid
having to maintain separate metadata from their parent 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.
