Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-113:
---------------------------------
bq. Many people incorrectly assume that filing an icla === get an apache
account. Then they write back and ask where their id is. Then secretary writes
back asking them where they got this wrong idea.
https://github.com/apache/whimsy/commit/3e2e2c5fb94849b695e09fd0f8f601080c3135ee
makes the following two changes:
In cases where it is possible to do so, the reply-to address is set to the
project (podling or pmc). This at least redirects the conversation to the
right people. Of course, reply-all is still possible, but at least the right
people are included in the conversation.
In cases where there is no project, an additional sentence has been added to
the confirmation email explicitly stating that new accounts are not created
without an invitation. Feel free to wordsmith that further.
> Have Secretary create new accounts directly

> 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.
