Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-113:
---------------------------------
[~gstein] that may post a small (but probably not insurmountable) problem in
that emails are more easily spoofed than svn commits.
I plan to do the secretary path first, then the officers/members form. At the
moment, my understanding is that the secretary attempts to find a vote
associated with incoming ICLAs, and if he does find one, will submit the
request. Otherwise, he leaves it to the PMC to fill out the form. Net: PMCs
that don't hold a vote in a place where Craig can find it won't be affected
just yet - so we don't need to resolve this yet. And those that do hold a vote
in a place where Craig can find it, will have a vote link recorded.
Separately, it might make sense to revive the
https://whimsy.apache.org/test/icla/invite effort. This would allow
authenticated users to invite in new committers in a way that reduces effort
for everybody (including the secretary).

> Currently most new account requests are made by the secretary, with the
> remainder by PMC chairs and ASF members. These requests are made by whimsy
> forms and result in a file created in svn that is processed, generally daily,
> by infrastructure staff.
> The new process envisioned is that the secretary will create new accounts
> directly; and that new account requests will be sent via email to secretary@
> and processed by the secretary workbench. Generally, processing of such
> requests should be at most a few mouse clicks, though an opportunity will be
> provided to tweak such things a public names and to verify that a proper vote
> link was provided.
