I don't think there is anything wrong with checking with others around a fairly major change like this, which by the way I am +1 on, but switching the travis config and changing a 7 to an 8 in the pom.xml is technically a code change, and only really needs the votes accordingly for that. If you want that vote to happen here and not on the JIRA for visibility that technically is not according to the bylaws but it follows the spirit so I personally am OK with it. http://storm.apache.org/contribute/BYLAWS.html
Which on a side note, that whole discussion about changing which mailing lists get updated when, we might want to either change the bylaws or update some documentation so that votes specifically are forwarded to the dev list. Otherwise we start to run into a situation where an important vote for a code change is happening like this, and some people are not aware of it, because they are only watching the dev list. - Bobby On Tuesday, August 16, 2016 11:59 PM, Harsha Chintalapani <st...@harsha.io> wrote: I guess everyone has different interpretation of what Bylaws means .
