Re: [technology-pmc] [tsf-dev] PMC Approval required for Committer Elect

[Eclipse Management Office EMO <emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul.

Our "rules" can all be traced back to the open source rules of engagement described in the Eclipse Foundation Development Process.

Generally, in a committer election we're looking for a couple of links that provide concrete visible examples of contribution.

Note that our goal is not to satisfy the PMC and EMO, but to establish and maintain the trust of the community. As part of the public record, committer elections also serve as a template for contributors that you don't know to follow to establish reputation and trust to eventually become a committer themselves.

There's some more background in the handbook. While the scenario that this article is based on doesn't align with what's happening here, its perspective might help explain what we're trying to accomplish.

Hi Wayne, Gunnar,

Thanks for the guidance about what information you expect to see in
Committer nomination statements. I'm new to working within Eclipse, so
I'm still learning.

Lucas Biaggi has been deeply involved in the TSF project since the
beginning, and remains a regular contributor. However, he has more
recently been doing so primarily as a reviewer.

Note that these review contributions are not currently visible in the
(temporary) version of the project, which I imported into the Eclipse
Foundation GitLab. This is because all of the Issues, MRs and comments
were attributed to me. If you check in the (current) home of the
repository in https://gitlab.com/CodethinkLabs/trustable/trustable you
will be able to confirm this.

We are still working towards transferring work on the project into the
Eclipse GitLab, and hope to correct the attributions of Issues, MRS and
comments as part of this. I understand from Sébastien Heurtematte that
it should be possible to do this by having someone with the required
level of access (Administrator) perform the import.

Please refer to our discussions on this topic for more details about the
current migration status:

Regards,

Paul Albertella
