As we seem to largely have consensus in "Reducing Committer Load for Code Reviews"[1], this is a vote to change the Beam policy on Code Reviews to require that
(1) At least one committer is involved with the code review, as either a reviewer or as the author (2) A contributor has approved the change prior to merging any change. This changes our policy from its current requirement that at least one committer *who is not the author* has approved the change prior to merging. We believe that changing this process will improve code review throughput, reduce committer load, and engage more of the community in the code review process. Please vote: [ ] +1: Accept the above proposal to change the Beam code review/merge policy [ ] -1: Leave the Code Review policy unchanged Thanks, Thomas [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7c1fde3884fbefacc252b6d4b434f9a9c2cf024f381654aa3e47df18@%3Cdev.beam.apache.org%3E
