Hi, everyone I started this discussion about OpenDAL's distribution policy at https://dist.apache.org (shortened as d.a.o) release branch.
While in the incubator, all committers have direct write access to d.a.o release branch, meaning PMCs don't need to do extra work if the RM is a committer. However, once OpenDAL becomes a TLP, only PMCs will have write access to d.a.o release branch. As noted in https://github.com/apache/opendal/issues/4150, if an RM is a committer but not a PMC, we'll need a PMC member involved in the release process to update the KEYS and manage the release branch. We have two options here: - Change the release process: Involve a PMC member in the release process. - Change the distribution policy: Allow committers to write release branch of d.a.o (the same as before) What do you think? Feel free to leave your comments and decision below. Xuanwo
